Day 11: Son of Aragog, or a giant, disgusting spider

Inktober Day Ten - Hope
During the American Civil War (and other wars of this era) soldiers would look to their flag for order and hope. If the flag fell, moral would be lost and an unorganized retreat and/or defeat would usually follow suit.
Using this premise, I drew some Union soldiers charging at off-page Confederates.
I have mixed feelings about this piece.
I added the color blue, so the viewer would know that all the characters on the page are on the same side, but I don't think the cross-hatch rendering style fits this piece all that well.
I like the flag, but I think the way I represented the grass/upper ground causes a lack of depth in the piece. Perhaps I'll try something more simple for tomorrow.(If you don't know what the bottom left soldier is doing, he is reloading his rifle, an action that took nine steps to complete! Currently, he's tearing off the top of a small bag/pouch with his teeth. That bag contains the gunpowder that would be poured into the rifle barrel, followed by the bullet itself (followed by several other steps))

@Leah-Boulet thanks, and you are correct! In Japanese, that is (I had to look it up,
).

@danielerossi There's something to be said for the shortwave! My memories are of turning the dial to try and make it sound like R2D2 when we couldn't get any stations in clearly enough. With or without reception, they're still fun!
