Brothers to the Very End

Brothers to the Very End is an emotional piece for all Gears of War fans. It is intended to signify one man's vision of a possible end to the game series' story...the ultimate sacrifice from four "brothers". What was once a beautiful countryside has become a makeshift cemetery littered with graves of fallen comrades.

The image contains mementos from all the core teammates: Marcus Fenix's famous skullcap, the photo of Dom Santiago and his wife, Damon Baird's goggles, and Augustus Cole's Thrashball helmet, all hovering around the centerpiece, a set of cogtags.

This picture will be printed in high resolution as a 16"x20" poster for the upcoming season of Gearscon, but the preview shown here is 800x1000px.
