Description

I love this movie, and the premise of this contest is very interesting, so I just had to enter... instead of doing the million other things I have to do ;P

The most difficult obstacles I've had to overcome in my life have always been brought on by questions of identity. When I had to drop out of art school for financial reasons, it severely damaged my perspective on my mission in life, and how I fit into the world. Nothing really seemed to matter, and my ultimate decision to join the military was a very depressing prospect for me. I tried to capture the feeling of losing one's way to interact and communicate with the world, and the hopelessness that it brings.

But, of course, the story doesn't end there :D There is always a way forward, though sometimes we are too focused on what is broken to see it. I included paper Hanzo for that reason, and also because he was one of my favorite characters in the film. He was involved in a very beautiful moment of "show-don't-tell" filmmaking, which I won't detail specifically to prevent spoilers :)

I also cleaned up and inked this while watching election results tuesday night... and I think it shows :XD:
