Description FIRST OF ALL, PLEASE DOWNLOAD, AS THIS IS AN ENORMOUS FILE. I fear viewing this image on here would be too large to see. It's almost a metre wide and long. It was originally A4 size; look here [link]

Okay...okay....
I chose this title because this is the battle theme for the Greil Mercenaries in Radiant Dawn; The Devoted. There's really no relation to the image, I guess. I just want a nice title xD "Oscar Strikes" is too basic.

Oscar. Former knight of Crimea. We know him for his squinty eyes and cooking skills. This time, I wanted to draw his eyes opened. Believe me, it's quite scary to see his eyes in this action o.O But interesting...

Yes, it was MEANT to be just A4. The original picture shows the arm drawing back and somehow that didn't right when I relined it on Photoshop. So, I changed his arm position. "Hey, why not draw the rest of his arm?" So...I expanded everything and the next thing I knew was, the horse came to play.

Oh god, the horse. I certainly know that Oscar's horse is out of shape around the back. IT WAS A PAIN T_T Oscar's leg took a while to do as he was sitting on the horse.
There was loads of reference from the movie, the leg position when sitting on the horse. And the Steel Lance is wonky Dx

Looking at the way Oscar is sitting on the horse kinda looks painful. But I did try sitting like him...it was indeed awkward.
It was quite hard to reference the horse it was only viewed properly in the 'Execution' movie. There are certainly a lot of things I missed out from the horse and most likely wrong colours. Lucky I chose to do Oscar's white horse from Radiant Dawn. Why? The default background layer for this work is white. I just got lazy and sketched the outline of the horse.

There are some parts that isn't blended. Well, some are better without having to blend them xD

Oh yes, I wanted to add the lens flare effect on the top of the lance. "Lens flare filter could not complete as there is not enough memory (RAM)" Oh god.

With this much ranting, it was quite a mission and I did like painting this. Just NEVER NEVER attempt to draw something like this again! It took ages to save as there were 40+ layers.

Anyway...please enjoy ^^ This is the last photoshop project and it will be updated in my latest journal. I'm going to drink.

Wonderful details! Oscar looks great, in his full battle regalia~ :>

You already mentioned the horse's hindquarters, but I thought I'd add that there are plenty of horse photos free to reference here on DeviantART: [link]
(because I use them all the time! Horses are tricky!)

FelixEarth [2009-07-10 19:44:47 +0000 UTC]

AWESOME artwork!
Oscar is where I get my eyes excited: you made him completely absorbed into the action, and by opening his eyes he DOES give the impression to fight vigorously!
The armor is nearly perfection, I like the neat yellow borders and the leg is very well done!
It goes to my , excellent work indeed, congrats
(I don't mind about the horse imperfection XD)

Yes, his eyes are a mystery, so I thought.

Ah yes, thank you. Drawing the armour wasn't so bad...the leg took a long time to do D=

Thanks for the favouriting and comment!

Yay for serious Oscar opening his eyes!!!

Oscar is super well drawn! I love you for this! :3

I'd add critique on the horse, though. But since you already mentioned it, I guess that's all right

KEEP DRAWING MOAR OSCAR PICTURES.

Oscar... you're not allowed to open your eyes.

Believe me, it's quite scary to see his eyes in this action
Not to criticise your artwork, but it's true. Oscar looks so very out of character by merely opening his eyes.

The whole thing just sounds like very difficult to draw.

With his eyes opened, he reminds me of Abel from Shadow Dragon o.O

It came out very well!
The only thing I'd change is the horse's back right hoof. Even when galloping, the hooves are nearly never uniform.

I canna look at the "download" file. even scaled, it crashes mah internetz it's so big. lol

Yeah, the horse's rear legs is where I got lazy with. Thanks for the info, I'll make sure I won't do the same next time...if there's a next time! D=

Damn, this file is way too large! <.<
