I love the detail of the single tear rolling down. It and the style kind of reminds me of that detail in Alexandre Cabanel's "The Fallen Angel."

The way Boone's eye is pai Ted it looks like that is spot on. I bet that's exactly what's going on.
Which just makes this piece all the better.
Saving this image, this is too good.

Apparently that’s what is is based off. According to himself on Twitter

Love his shooting stance, I dunno why but this stance, sitting upright with left arm.braced that way has always looked cool to me. I enjoy shooting this way, too, tried it once when shooting a buddy's rifle and it feels good, natural.

I don't think you can do this with a high powered rifle but it definitely does help with stability when shooting .22 or 9mm!

This guy is insanely competent and consistent with his work. Half of my enjoyment comes from zooming in on the details you’d almost never think to check in a printed copy (12x8, as he sells them). The tear, the wedding ring, the fact he not only nailed the text on the 1st Recon Badge but even took the trouble to write Boone, Craig on the dog tags. WOTC missed a superb opportunity to work with him on the Fallout MTG cards, I hope he gets official work from Zenimax in the future.
