Description Sergeant Chip Saunders (Vic Morrow) from 'Combat!'

I started sketching this during the week, and decided to get it finished today for Vic's anniversary (23rd July 1982).

**Done on Corel Painter Essentials 2 with reference.

Edit: Adjusted his nose and mouth position.

Horrible way to die. I watched a version of the scene, and even censored, it made me feel lucky to be alive...

Sorry for the late reply!

Yes, it sure was I cannot begin to imagine what his death would've been like. I accidentally stumbled upon the footage in a video tribute for Vic on YouTube, and when I realized what it was, freaked out and closed the video. The thought of watching his death terrifies me. I just don't have the stomach for it.

Funny, I must have seen that same video (although I was too hypnotized to turn it off). I just scrolled down to the comments and freaked out over the music...

Vic was a brilliant actor. He came to such a tragic end You should watch some episodes of Combat if you enjoy his acting He really shines in the show, plus he directed a few episodes too.

You mean a scanner? If you have a look around any computer stores, you should be able to find some. Or you can get a multifunctional printer, which also has a scanner built into it. That's what I use. Or if you prefer digital art, you could use a drawing tablet

Thank you very much for all the faves

Yeah,ok. He looks like he does,did he ever finish the entire show with all seasons complete? Cool.

Yeah,I'll try. I don't have much money right now. Your welcome.

God bless and may he rest in peace in our memeories since he's gone to a better place where his achievements shall never die.

It's been a while since i've seen combat,but i'll watch them.

Sorry for the late reply

Yes, Vic did finish acting in Combat! He's in all 5 seasons, as Sergeant Saunders. He's not in every episode however, but from what I remember he's in at least 120 episodes of the 152.

Getting back to the scanner, they vary a lot in price, so it'll just depend on what you're looking for. Over here, I've seen them as cheap as $40 for a printer/scanner combination. Just keep your eyes open for a good bargain

I'd love to know what you think of Combat! if you manage to watch some

Now that you mention it, it does I think it looks like 'The Best Of 1980-1990', if that's the one you mean

Thanks for the comment!

This looks really good. I particularly like how you did it in a sepia tone, it helps bring out a sort of older feeling to the picture, which seems appropriate what little I know of "Combat!"
I'd say it's a fitting tribute to him.

Corad In reply to GreyJedi [2011-09-05 05:37:53 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, GreyJedi Initially I drew it with blue, but Bijoux thought it would be best if he were this color, which I agreed with. Blue looked too artifial, plus for some odd reason it didn't really look like him....but by changing the color, it did Not sure how that works....
Thank you I'll be doing a color portrait of him too, to go with the other color portraits. He'll probably be done last though just in case my interest starts to dwindle, so it'll encourage me to keep going to get to him

Poor Vic, such a horrible way to go. Especially bad considering there were children involved... Rest in Peace, Vic Morrow.

You've captured him very well, Corad. It looks just like him. The brown is very fitting for it and looks great too. It's a wonderful tribute for him, I wonder whether he'd like it himself? Lovely work.

Corad In reply to Bijoux91 [2011-08-15 15:02:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, poor Vic

Thanks, Bijoux. I spent quite a while just trying to get him to look right. Hopefully when I draw him again, he'll come out a little easier now that I've drawn him once. The brown does suit him better, rather than the original blue. Gee, I dunno.....it's one of those things we're left to wonder
