Operation Desert Storm, WIP

I was recently hired to illustrate a poster commemorating the twentieth anniversary of Operation Desert Storm. This is not technically the finished grey scale art, but it's very very close. I just finished the color version and will upload that soon.

To follow along with my process and see many, many close-ups, check out my blog: [link] (and feel free to "follow" my blog - I use it to post process stuff like this).

Drawn and colored in Photoshop CS4 and CS5 using a Wacom Cintiq. The poster measures 18x24 inches at 450dpi. Huge!
