WehrmachtscharfschutzeBruno Sutkus in the Carpathians, 1944.
Of Lithuanian and German descent, he is credited with 209 confirmed kills and fought in the Lithuanian anti-communist resistance. Tortured by the KGB and sent to various collectives and prisons, he did not return to Lithuania until 1971. He relocated to Germany in 1997, and passed away in 2003.
From his “Diary of a Sniper”:
“If you can live legally, you’ll grow to be eighty years old. Joining the guerrillas, you will die. They will torture your parents and send them to Siberia. We can’t achieve anything because the Soviet predominance is crushing. We’re constantly hunted. We have no area for retreat, no supplies, and no food. Large Soviet forces are searching the woods. Often we are starving, and the wounded get no treatment. The people who support us are arrested, viciously tortured, and sent to Siberia. Sooner or later, the Soviets will choke the whole Lithuanian resistance in blood. We’re all going to die. They will throw our desecrated bodies into the marketplace. Reconnaissance planes are often flying over the woods to take pictures. Spies are infiltrating our ranks. Day and night we can’t feel safe in the bunkers and are therefore always moving, to, again and again, like rats, dig new bunkers in the soil. There’s no other way. One of us shall survive to be able to tell how we lived, fought, and died.”

Between commissions and that lovely January cold I got in small bits by bits could colour another sketch I got from Fusspot of my Nautolan trash; M’antra.
I just love working with high contrasted colour concepts and this one was fun ;w;
I could finally settle down how I want the iridescent aspect of his skin, instead actual spots or scales this direction may be the harder to draw but suits him so much better. Also I just love the thicker more weighted tendrils overall probably because love painting them a lot c:

Dota 2 is a game
TF2SniperClassIconPins!
These are enamel pins of Sniper’s class icon!
They’re actually fairly sizable and made with quality material. The hard enamel pins were made with the help of Vograce. I’m actually surprised with how well they turned out!
Send it! Anyone else enjoy long distance shooting?

Read my story below.
Team Fortress 2.
One of the best games I have ever played, and undoubtedly a community that I am proud to be a part of.
I was first introduced to TF2 by my brother, who, at the time, played it nonstop. This was over 5 years ago by now.
I remember he was the spy. I asked him why his character’s hand looked weird. He told me about the classes and their abilities, and even if I didn’t know it then, I was hooked.
TF2’s community back when I began to play brought me a great mix a joy and pain. I felt joyous that I made friends, but I somehow always managed to meet the wrong people. I joined toxic groups, I got bullied, etc..
So you have no idea how much it warms my heart that the community is coming together to partake in this protest.
There is more love in the community than ever before. The kindness I’ve been shown in-game never fails to melt my heart ❤️ My favourite part of the game would have to be the Friendlies. The fact that we can all get together, have fun, joke around with bugs and exploits in the game.. It’s amazing! I love that I get to make new friends, and that I’m able to introduce others to this amazing game. I never get bored of it — It feels like every match is a whole new experience, yet familiar all the same.
The bots, however, are beginning to taint that. It’s high time they address this issue again. The official Tf2 account has responded on Twitter to this protest, and I’m very excited to get an update on where they go from here!
Please, if you can, share your story with Tf2. Help save the community. Help save the game.
