All Quiet on the Western Front

This illustration is designed as a book cover for the novel titled "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. The hand depicted in the center of the composition stands as a representation of the story's main character volunteering for the German Army in World War One, parallel with the raising of one's hand in a classroom environment, as it was his teacher that urged him to join. The background represents a World War One battlefield, setting a backdrop for the story to come. This illustration was created in Photoshop with multiple brushes to create texture and unity within the piece.
