Oooh interesting👀

Looks like the United States Army Mission Support Battalion may have "Borrowed" your art! https://twitter.com/DreamerHyena/status/1670616035735764992?t=w3_SqPeQU356opbV8WcRrA&s=19

They asked for my permission, I gave it gladly!

How excellent!

Awesome! That's cool

I gotta know, roughly when did they ask/adopt this artwork?
I'm curious as to when they adopted it and who found out about it

It was 2012; an officer apparently Googled the word "Workhorse", stumbled upon my drawing and asked to use it for his battalion.
They even made this cool "Challenge Coin" out of it! https://www.deviantart.com/jay-shel.....Coin-327301303

Did they give you a challenge coin too?

Yes, It was quite an honor!

This entire story is so funny. I love it^^

Also man, I wish I could get my hands on one of those coins^^

This is incredible, holy shit haha.

may i ask if they give royalties or anything for something like this? me and some friends are very curious! also, i love the shading! (⁀ᗢ⁀)

They don't make a profit from it (I assume!), so no royalties.

thank you so much for answering!

They actually do make a form of profit, active service USMC here. They dont tend to sell commercially outside their unit, but with things like challenge coins and other unit "swag" you'll tend to see units selling at a SLIGHT upcharge of whatever their true production cost is, no different to whatever company, such as vanguard for challenge coins, if they use it, tend to make some profit from the procurment of "swag" using unit logo's. This profit TENDS to be for unit "moral" such as for the marine corps its used for unit events, marine corps balls, and other related things

Awesome!!

This would probably look really cool printed out with a risograph duplicator, it definitely has that vintage style that works well with it.

To think, I'm actually about as old as this...
Overall, pretty awesome.

i must resist the urge to lewd the army badge

I KNEW ID FIND YOU HERE


pls do

i don't want them to drone strike mine or OP's house

I guarantee someone in the Battalion has already done it.

Power to you, USMC here, lewd every military animal badges you want, i'll take the fall for you

I'm army and I'll just blame it on a private

Absolutely fantastic!

Gosh this is so simple and so well executed.
That is one good looking beefy horse!
