Thanks to Jazza for this COTM. I had a lot of fun coloring this and am glad this was the line art you chose for the contest. It motivated me to enter and helped me break in Krita. Rest assured heavy experimentation was done with the default brushes.

My favorite bits were adding details like the freckles and muddy dirt on the mourner's skin, as well as inserting the low fog/smoke and helicopter in the background.
