Only Remembered

This is based on characters and events from Until the End, a long running thing I'm doing that's probably never going to be complete but yeah, this is based on it (I say based on because it's not exactly canon). This is Amber, mourning the death of a fellow freedom fighter at a makeshift war burial ground, where planks of wood and broken weapons are used as grave markers. The deceased's friends lovingly carved a wing in her marker, to honour her service as a pilot. 

As the burial site was made bordering a war zone, it's regularly plagued by airstrikes, which is what's happening here. What I was trying to show here was the absolute cruelty and humiliation war inflicts on many of its victims; destroying their lives, tarnishing their legacies, and not allowing them to be mourned. 

I used this stock photo by faestock (dA is refusing to link to her, no clue why) for pose reference, and got a lot of inspiration from this photo of a Ju 87 attacking a British supply depot in Libya. Here's the album I saw it in, there's a lot of other amazing WW2 photos over there as well.
