Soldier

There's a book by Boris Vian, a compilation of stories actually, called Les Foumis, i'm not a huge fan of his writting, but there's one story that i like a lot. The story follows a soldier through D-day and some other episodes, that eventually lead to his death (sorry for ruining the ending). The thing that i really liked is the way the story is told in the 1st person, in such a demented way, that it strikes me as some sort of analogy on the absurd o war. I don't know if that was his intention really, because everything i read from him is never quite "normal". This is the way it works for me... So, last year i started making a few studies more less inspired on the story and some of them came out nicelly. I've been thinking about creating some story based on WWII, and for a long time now i've been sketching a lot trying to find a stille that i'm happy with, it will be something close to this. (the ones with a more plastic treatment. i know... i have to find more contrast in the painting, but i'll get on it)
