Speedpainting practice done in Photoshop CS4 (2.5h).
I tried to keep it as loose as possible, so it feels more like a painting. I tried to stick most of the time only to one custom brush ...

This is a very powerful piece. As usual you've done a fantastic job with the lighting; the subtle palette and restrained saturation project a palpable mood and sense of realism; you can really feel the scene. The thumbnail in particular reads extremely well; all of those textured brushstrokes coalesce into a highly detailed, almost photo-realistic image.

My only gripe is that I'm not convinced by the depth between the two groups of soldiers. It doesn't read particularly well, possibly as a result of the sketchy nature of the painting. I can't help but think that the two soldiers in the distance should be a little smaller, emphasizing the size of the rocks and the vantage point held by the foreground element.

A great painting overall. The blend of stylish, well executed techniques, interesting subject matter and intelligent application of light and colour combines to create an image which is both pleasing to the eye and demands your attention.

Love that quote.
It's true though.

You're amazing, you know that...? Frankly, my jaw drops whenever I see one of your speedpaintings... how on earth do you achieve both this sketchiness AND a sense of realism at the same time!?

Someone called this "sexy"? Shudders, must have been a Rockefeller or someone. I hope you do not mind but when next I do a writing on war, that might get used if you do not mind. Will add the credit of course and let you know. You capture any war in the Middle East, well.
