,, During the wartime, after many day of loneliness our roads are crossing, like our hands in embrace we dont have even a day to properly prepare unexpected hapiness, unexpected meeting" Link to the song As an artist I've got a few personal goals. Today I achieved one of them - make an artwork with my favourite characters. So I crossed Manu Koa and Kalena Pau with my favourite TV show "Four Tank-men and a Dog", that has got a very deep impact in popculture of my nation. It's rare sight to see these lovely birds as militaries and in full anthro poses, but I hope that my vision of them would be well received, by all fans of Manu Koa and Kalena. Here I'm displaying them as two main characters of TV show : Janek Kos (Manu Koa), commander of polish tank, Marusia Ogoniok (Kalena Pau)- soviet infantry platoon medic, during final scene from season 1.
In 1945 war was finally coming to the end. Manu Koa's tanks batallion and Kalena's infantry regiment has last task to fulfill during fights on polish land -- take control over Gdansk, home city of Manu Koa and rid off invaders from Poland. After heavy clashes in Oksywie (that is a coastal district of Gdansk ) Poland was finally free. The occupation of Poland was finally ended in this same place, where it has begun. Manu is really overjoyed to see Kalena alive and Gdansk free, but also full of worries, because he know that war is not over yet and they together have to conquer Third Reich and their capital city --Berlin to end reigns of Nazis over Europe. He know well that they will be fighting with great fierce for their land and it will be very hard to survive for his crew and Kalena. Although, its still future for them, for now they can enjoy watching sunset over Baltic sea and peaceful evening together- a very special moment during heat of war.
Many thanks to manukoa for allowing me to post my artwork and for appreciation to my idea. It was great pleasure and honor to draw characters, that were my own inspiration to start drawing.
