REDEEMED

Fanart for the novel Old Man's War, by John Scalzi.

If you hang out in my gallery you've seen all the WIP pictures of this. I'm pretty pleased with how it's come out. I might add the appropriate weapon for the man to be holding, but other than that it's done now.

If you're wondering things like "Why does the dude have green hands?" "why is his head exploding in a big gray splotch instead of a big red splotch?" "What the hell is that alien??" and of course "Why is this painting called "REDEEMED" in all caps as though it were being shrieked by a horrible alien bug monster who was blowing someone's head up?", well you should go buy the book. Or just wait until the movie comes out, but seriously, that's just lazy.

Also please go ahead and click on "download image" for the somewhat larger version, it looks better that way, I think.

I met John Scalzi at a signing and HE SIGNED A PRINT OF THIS FOR ME.  It was a moment that I will not forget for a long time.  Not only did he recognize the image, but he told me that it was one of the first pieces of fanart that he received for the book.  Total fangirl moment!
