Description
Same as pervious, another WWI Ottoman image my friend asked for: An Ottoman cavalry charge with full kit gas masks and onion-turbaned officers. Probably anachronistic and grossly inccaurate, but loads of fun
I need to get a little more practice drawing horses though, LOL.

That piece does seem a bit... improbable. I mean, if there really was a gas attack at the time, the horses would die, wouldn't they? Shouldn't they have gas masks on, too?
The feel of the charge is pretty well drawn, I think. The fezs (fezes?) of the Turks in the back of the unit are a nice little touch.

Oh the peice is not just highly improbable; in fact, I believe the term you are in fact looking for is "impossible" 
But it was done for fun, so that excuses much.
Did you see the coloured version here?: [link]

Great composition... I'd love to see a finished colour version of this...
It's like a disturbing version of a "Flashman" cover...
Cool.

Sadly, my colour work is my weakest point (as is sort of self-evident LOL!) I was hoping to fix that this year... Hahaha oh well, back to the drawing board - quite literally.

Like I said... check out Craig Mullins stuff... I found it totally inspiring when it came to using colour...
... and good luck "fixing" it.
