    A Promise to Keep

    I knew that I didn't want to end this year without me finally finishing this--it's honestly an idea I've had for a few years, and now that I've learned the necessary editing tools I could use to keep the illustration as close to what I had in my head, I could finally, finally share this with you guys.It's already 4 in the morning and I honestly don't know how I'd put what I have in mind into words; I'll simply sum it up by saying that it's really been a fun year, I hope you find this drawing to your liking, and ya'll have a good one.

    I don't care that much about the Halo franchise, but I remember that Slavic style ODST trailer was really cool. The game itself was kind of disappointing to me though. I guess I was expecting more of a fireteam simulator like Republic Commandos or Rainbow Six.

    As a side note that handgun on the side brings up a pet peeve. Don't leave anything on the ground that isn't in a pouch/holster/scabbard or tethered to you with a sling or lanyard or something. Somehow you always eventually end up leaving behind whatever leaves your hands.

    Really because I don't believe I heard anyone say anything about being home by christmas in World War II?

    Operation Market Garden was an ambitious joint operation of the US/British Airborne units and the British XXX Corps ground forces in mid-September, 1944. It was fought in the Netherlands and Germany with the intent on encircling the German industrial sectors in the Ruhr, cutting it off and establishing a foothold on the eastern side of the Rhine. This was supposed to open a corridor into Germany and end the war by Christmas. It didn't work.
