The Battle of Yonkers by petersen1973 (SFW)
Fandom: World War Z
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Scene - the Battle of Yonkers
Content Notes/Warnings: OK, so this month I'm reccing World War Z, as I read the book recently (after an amazing SGA fanfic bymad_maudlin) and it's brilliant - a completely different thing to the trite blockbuster movie, and very highly recommended. It's far more genuinely tragic and horrific than the movie and yet more bearable, as it's the narrated first-hand accounts of survivors, well after the war's been won. So I'm into World War Z at the moment. I know zombies aren't to everyone's taste, so I'll do clear content warnings for all of these. This one's not especially horrific - it depicts a major US battle early on in the conflict, and it's basically an action scene of some poor beleaguered US troops, with very little detail of the zombies.
Medium: pen and ink drawing, photoshop shading
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: (the DA account is now closed)
Why this piece is awesome: There isn't much good World War Z art out there and this is an excellent dramatic drawing of the main battle after which New York was overrun by the zombie horde - a battle where the US military were defeated as they used traditional methods and equipment against all common sense and because too little was known, that early in the conflict. I like the stark lines and the contrasts, and the overall structure.

Anyway, the art is great and what struck me most were the eyes of the soldiers visible through their masks.
