I'll miss sleeping beside you

A soldier with his lady before he goes overspace/overseas. I started this painting thinking about the days before I went to Iraq. I was single back then but I can imagine the other amount of soldiers with wives and children having to spend their last days with them before they depart.

Here is something quite quick before I submit more time consumed paintings. I need to practice more on my speedies since I usually loose track of time sometimes with details. I have to say, the female character took me forever to get things right, esepcially the face :/ Which I still do not like but I just had to get it out of the way so I can work on my other unfinished paintings.

This took about 2-3 hours. PS CS3. Cintiq.
