Can someone explain this meme

>>2744752
It's basically a tribute some guy made to his friend who died in the Iraqi war but who everyone ended up making fun of.

>>2744769
Yeah he was sharing old stories about him and his friend and /ic/ just chanted "Not gonna make iiiiit".

Pretty sure he killed himself. People repost the picture anyway because fuck him.

>>2744769
>>2744777

Someone should post that screencap. You know the one.

It's just a super-generic soldier guy like you'd see in any number of late 2000's shooter. It's not BAD, it's just sorta generic and boring, and it was played as a trump card when someone was asked to show their work (which was stolen anyway). It now lives in infamy.

>>2743019
yes!!!

>>2743099
i want to say this is shintaro kago but the lines don't seem quite right

>>2745105
how do you do something like this? it wasn't rendered by each pixel, was it?

>>2748893
It was probably drawn with a pencil tool first and then fixed up by each pixel.

Point of focus porn right there. How do you even do this shit, it's inspiring and depressing at the same time.

It's the kind of shit you get when you start with anime and later try to patch it up with realism. The eyelids, for example, are very volumetric despite sitting on a flat anime eye surface.

The other part of the problem is that people have shit taste and art like this gets popular.
