Open Challenge to Artist ~ I need your help

in art •  7 years ago 

This isn't one of my normal challenges and is of a serious nature so I am looking for the best of the best to help me. I know steemit has a large number of exceptional artist and I need at least one of you. 

Hanging my son's stocking this year and his new Christmas ornament. I realize that other than those items, memories and this box of his items we really don't have anything to immortalize him or bring joy in our loss. 



Normally, I do a piece of art work for each child but I have not held a paintbrush since his passing. I haven't even been able to finish my 3 year old's painting that I started right before our loss. The loss of my son is hitting me extra hard this year as I look upon my new son.


His name was Roman Maximus. We named him after the Roman Empire and Maximus Decimus Meridius, the made up hero in “The Gladiator” one of our favorite movies.


This is me asking for help doing what this father just can't pull himself together to do, create an amazing piece of artwork to hang in our house for him and for us. Something that can help lift this inability to create I have. Help completing this task for me, helping fill a little more of the hole in I have.

I am sure one day I will be able to complete this task myself but for now, I am just stuck, unable to.

Thank you to anyone who is willing to help

If there is anything I can do for you as payment or to help you just let me know, I don't even know what to offer for something like this

I know @steemitadventure did an amazing roman gladiator piece before. I'm gonna go find it

So its a spartan icon, but I think @steemitadventure is the guy for Roman... check this out https://steemit.com/art/@steemitadventure/spartan-icon

Wow, that would be amazing laser etched on some wood.

How sad to read, sending love to you and your family ❤

Thank you, I got one of the best (in my opinion) artist on steemit working on this for me.

That's nice to hear 😄 who is it? *curious

@steemitadventure was kind enough to do this for me

Cool! Looking forward to see the result ☺

Oh eroded, didn't know about this...
Hugs.

I'm your typical man. I don't talk about these types of things too much. I am melting into the community here and it is easier to let things like this come out. It's kind of like free therapy.

I tried sir

Thank you, that was very kind of you. I was looking for something that went more along the lines of something Roman related as that would be the best tribute.

This was very moving so I do thank you.
