Description
You may wonder why I put this in the "Fantasy" Category. But fact ist, that I was very much inspired by the Warhammer Army of Bretonnia in this painting. I even used a painting of the armybook as reference for the knight´s pose
The people in the background were painted out of my mind. A mixture between bretonnian peasants and historical "army clothes" of the middle ages.
Tech:
watercolour on paper (A2)
probably 6 hours.
university kept me from finishing it earlier >.<
Hope you like it

Great drawing! Your style is deft and lovely detailed. Very well executed fog background.
Please pardon me asking, but would you by any chance be interested in helping out the volunteer project known as the Ninth Age (T9A for short: www.the-ninth-age.com/ )? It is the spiritual successor of Warhammer Fantasy, run by 300+ volunteer contributors all tinkering in their spare time, and it aims to go even further than Warhammer did along the paths of historically based dark fantasy smörgåsbord setting: i.imgur.com/dlmQkB6.jpg
For one thing, T9A is the perfect way for what used to be Warhammer fantasy fanart to instead become official artwork for an emerging setting, and thus gain much more widespread exposure.
Moreover, T9A is always welcoming artists who want to join their art team, and your skill and distinctive designs would be great to have on board, should you ever be interested in joining and help develop this setting by putting your own distinctive mark upon its art pool. If you would by any chance be interested in donating old artworks of yours, then here is a quick guide for T9A gallery upload of art contributions: i.imgur.com/ORLCncV.jpg
I can get you in E-mail contact with the head of their art team, if ever you're interested.
At any rate, splendid artworks! Evocative to boot, and hazy like a dream. Have a nice day.

This is really good. What I like particularly about this piece is that you've done it in pencil - I really admire that because it takes a lot more skill to do shade, tone and so on. Very impressive stuff. I'll put this in feature. ^^

The ornaments are pretty nicely done.
I especially like the foodsoldiers can´t put my finger on why....
But boy, that´s a big helmet and a small horsehead, also the legs seem wrong...
Well the content expression is quite good, even better if you compare it to the footlings´ somehow worn out ones.
