Battle of Hue City

Battle of Hue City. Production artwork for a movie I was commissioned to work on.
"Under Heavy Fire" aka "Going Back" starred Casper Van Dien and was directed by Sidney J. Furie, the same director of the Iron Eagle film series. The piece was used to help the computer graphics guys from Germany in making a locale shot here in my country into a riverside quay in Vietnam during the battle of Hue. Most of the work made for the production were storyboards and concept drawings. Airbrushed acrylics on board; 2001
