(i hope no one minds me putting up this challenge or else we could scrap it)
(i also hope the topic doesn't suck balls)
TEEN CHALLENGE 60

The Rules:
Anyone ages 13-19 may submit an entry at any time before the deadline. Please host your image on a remote image-hosting site instead of uploading it to the CA server. This makes it much easier to transfer it to the poll thread.

The Topic: "Currahee", Famous from the Band of Brothers mini-series. It means 'Stand Alone' ('We stand alone' in band of brothers). Your artwork must contain of someone, or a group of people being isolated from friends, somehow. WW2 is not mandatory. Be creative and enjoy.

IMPORTANT
1. Add a border around your image with your name and the topic, like they do with the other of the week challenges.
2. Please do not use attachment manager, but outside host your image.
3. Mark your final as final

The Deadline:
Sunday, March 8th

You really should. It an amazing series. Each one hour episode is equal quality to a full film. And there are about 10 episodes. It's really gripping and made so well.

Presented by Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg. It's stunning and it's gritty, realistic and dramatic. Not really Hollywood action, more like real.

I'll give this a go. I want to stick to WWII so it won't be very interesting.

sounds good to me! Never seen Band of Brothers, so I'll likely go with idea of 'standing alone'

Ronald: where will the group of people be? Other than that, it looks really cool so far. :D

I think I was too excited about TC getting a section in Community Activities, lol.
Any crits would be great. :D I'll probably take a better picture later, I'm just too lazy now. Based on a D-day picture.

I know I'm an old man so can't participate in here, but wanted to say that the translation they give for the Native American work 'Currahee' is 'We stand alone together', not just the stand-alone part :).

...and anyone who hasn't seen the series should do so right now. It's awesome.

Nice work Ronald,

Hi everyone, I just found this section of the forums and i'm glad I found it before I turned 20 (which will be in about 6 months). I saw the topic and couldn't resist, I freakin love band of brothers, and hopefully I will find time in my schedule to keep on doing these.
