Acrylic on MDF and Plywood

hey guys i'm listening to opera and struggling real bad with drawing this week

be careful who you flirt with during spooky season 👻

On November 10, 1928, the first installment of “All Quiet on the Western Front,” Erich Maria Remarque’s acclaimed novel of World War I, appeared in the German magazine Vossische Zeitung.

Question

i am looking for resources on german and french trench systems (function, layout, diagrams, or ideally photographs containing different trench types, as well as individual components, e.g. dugouts). if anyone has anything of notability or knows where i could get detailed information, please let me know.

thanks!!

had this wip saved in my drafts that i forgot about!

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far

a few things

muck’s rosary, hoobler’s luger, speirs’ lucky strikes, and a false sense of security

i need to start working on textures and midtones so that the style for this bloody comic finally starts taking shape at some point but my software keeps crashing after the lineart and i've got no idea what i want it to look like :/
