Well one thing I notice are the paintings with war motives. They mostly show a moment of action with people runing, firing, yelling, machinery doing wild maneuveres to avoid projectiles , chaos everywhere.
Maybe you could show war from a different perspective. In the book "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque, he says that it's not on the front but in hospitals that you see the true extent of the war and its consiquences. Try to capture the essence of war with motives that don't directly show the action, but rather the consiquences. A hallway in a hospital full of dying and wounded men, a group of soldiers in winter under a shelter, all freezing and cooking themselves something that will be their first meal after a long time, a field after the battle covered with bodies etc. War is not what it is because of the action, but because what it does to people and their minds, try to capture that. Action shows this to some extent, but too many paintings/images/concepts today show action and the viewers soon become immune and don't experience the emotions they should.
I reccomend you see this site, and go through the tour, it's very cool.

Anyways here's the prep work for my drawing&painting paper (which was yesterday):
How it works is you're given a set of 6 stimuli questions 3 weeks prior, and you're supposed to develop and document your ideas and progress in relation to the theme (I chose "Deconstruction") in that period (I only started last week lol). The preparatory work thus serves this purpose, to add on to that, you're given 3 hours to make (paint, draw, whatever) a final piece of work on the exam day itself.

Next year I'm going to the art school! Or the computer line, where we learn to work with net servers and how to use programs.

The above were all sketches done in camp, the last from memory of riding on a 5-ton truck when it was raining.
Couple of outdoor sketches

I've been fine, completed basic military training, now in the air force, going to be a driver for a mobile air defence platform, the training for that will start next week so I thought it'd be nice to leave a little update before I disappear for another 2 to 4 months or so. Regardless, I still update my blog, you guys are free to read it, even though you may not understand a lot of what's going on due to the colloquailism and also my... emo-ness hahaha.
