HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
This is my first entry at the COTM, it's a traditional piece made using color pencils and pen. The colors and lighting have been digitally modified though to try and emulate a blinding sun effect.
I'm probably over thinking my drawing, but you could say there is a visual story ; the kittens are coming from the darkest part of the image (the jeep) and their only way to escape is to follow the track towards the light ; the sun (it's also the only part of the picture clear of dragons).
There's also a limited time for them to do that seeing other dragons coming from the distance and hiding the sun the closer they get.
I do not intent to make any commentary or political statement on the Vietnam war, I just thought it was a cool setting, even though you'll find a few references to the era in the drawing.
Also the drawing is named after the famous quote and Pete Seeger's song (don't know which one came first) : « Bring 'em Home ».
Well that's enough of rambling for today, enjoy the drawing, Cheers !
