The Most Difficult Duty

Description

ZZZOMG I HAD A BREAKTHROUGH.

I have no idea what happened with this piece. I'll upload the pencil sketch later. Look! Look what I made! I slowed down, I had patience...this took a few days. Omg. I'm so happy. New level. New level with the work. Nothing can be less than this now.

Please don't use the characters in this work. Please Ask if you wish to repost; this is very special to me:

This image is for my husband. He's served in the military for six years as a surgical technician, and volunteered twice to go overseas, because he wanted to serve to the highest of his ability. Both times, he didn't get to go.

He has assisted in amputations, removing bullets, treating war wounds and injuries from regular 'ol crime, delivering babies, helping the elderly through difficult surgeries. He's waded through blood and excrement and agony, and watched others go to war, and somehow still feels that he didn't serve the way others did.

Sometimes, the most difficult duty is to continue working faithfully where you are.

...He's also a gifted athlete and an amazing runner, so I drew him as a falcon/King Cheetah cross.

Thanks for looking. I'm so incredibly happy with this.

Pencil, Corel with airbrush tool, hours and hours.

Looks like I'm not the only cheetah-falcon here
