Graphite drawing titled "NOT TODAY"

Spartans have something in common with their ancestral enemies, Xerxes' Immortals, in that they never die - they are just Missing In Action.

I thought about this and came up with this idea for a drawing.

I definitely love the concept of the piece, but I see a few improvements. First of all the text really does not go with the theme of the picture (Yes I know it is Halo text), so you should add a different text (Maybe creepy text). (Also this would look great colored)

I would say you could be correct about the text. It really doesn't need it at all.
However I never work in color, it just isn't my medium. One of my favorite mediums to look at and the only medium I use is graphite. I have a real appreciation of black and white. 16 shades can convey so much.

Also, I would have to agree with this. The text made the picture not as "engaging" as it would be without it. In all honesty though, it is still awesome.

Great concept, I like it! I would get rid of the text though.

This thread would have appealed to me more if it was written with crayons.
