Custom Order : The Dog Tag

Some weeks ago, i was asked to do a custom art work, well there was this story of a superhero inside the mail but i didn't found the picture attached to the mail.
So i did re-read the mail and found out that the picture was an item the superhero always wear, so it was impossible to get a picture of it : A Dogtag.



World War II Dog Tag
What is a DogTag ?
Used for dog purpose, this item became famous during the world wars, specially during the second one : the dog tag was attached around the neck of soldiers, and was used for body recognition after fights, each tag is stamped with the name, date of birth, religion and blood group of the soldier.
So the purpose of the drawing was an item from the second world war, and i've been looking for some pictures into draw it correctly.

Love Forever
So this dog Tag has a story, a story about love between a young boy leaving his wife during the world war. This boy was wearing this dog tag and was really in love with his wife during all his lifetime, a kind of unbreakable love trapped into the metal making it a powerfull amulet







Lost Soul
This dogtag is now property of his grand son, who also have a story. A story of supercop, patrolling on his motorcycle an casualy working as a sniper for the S.W.A.T.
During a SWAT operation he felt down and get injured, meaning he wasn't able to ride again a motorcycle.
Cop in his mind but no more in the action, he became a lost soul. The dogtag  gave him the will to overcome this accident and to find a way to continue to be a cop.

He is now a firearms instructor for the police academy and an inspiring mentor for his students.
