Description
My latest work for the game Empire. Its just my artistic vision of the Yorktown siege at the end of the Indipedence war. The picture is a little bit patriotic which is not a bad thing, especially on the thanksgiving weekend
I used a more colours as usually, the picture shall be somehow optimistic, from American point of view at least . I would like to see your opinion about it. The characters were still a pain to do for me, but its gettin better I hope.
The whole thing was done in some 30-40 hours, just photoshop and intuos tablet.

Red, white, and blue never give up. They represent America!

These are truly amazing pieces.
I saw your art work years ago, but with the recent sale of total war games on steam I couldn't help but make the connection of your work, truly, amazing
Its great to be able to see the pieces without the loading bar in the way, haha.

It is a early form of a mortar(they say it is a howitzer ingame, i just thinks it looks more like a mortar) that instead of firing straight forward it fired in a step arc, lobbing shells of obstacles, had less range than the usual cannons(long barrel).

Awesome! Shows a pretty good image of what Yorktown might've looked like to the Patriots PoV!

Amazing!
I love the total war series and this is my favorite picture from the Empire: Total War game, i was truly astonished at how this is an upload of the original picture, im completely awestruck and greatly pleased to be in your presence. I have nothing bad to say bout the artwork itself, i've studied the battle of Yorktown countless times and this is an exact copy of how i imagined it! I myself am also working on some art for a game, it's more "Conceptional" but i hope you have time to check out my gallery and review my concept art, but anyhow, AMAZING PICTURE!

WOW!!!! This is really AMAZING...and exquisite. It looks like a painting, only it was done on a computer....

Really beautiful. Great tree, really epic lighting, and absolutely stunning work on the primary flag!
If you don't mind a bit of minor criticism? Just because I like this picture so much: The soldiers could use some more facial characterization and a bit more individuality, particularly in the faces (which aren't bad, just a tiny bit bland), and the weapons-spear, saber, cannons-could use some careful detailing.
Everything else is glorious and perfect.

Harhar! I live right near Yorktown, and it's nice to see the town get some love.

whenever you paint a flag, it's amazing- you seem to have this instinct for putting tears in just the right places and lighting to make it tell a story.
love love love!

I think this one is my favourite. The urgency and the lighting combines to make this one a very nice piece. I also like the attention to historical detail, very nice!

I just cant believe how many pieces you have done! It blows my mind how quickly you finish things! I have been working on some of my pieces for like 3 months now! Better yet, 2 of them have been over a year (laziness!). Any way, keep it up!!!

Wait, what? You made this? Nice, I remember admiring it on the ETW loading screen.
Utterly amazing work.

Aaaah, nothing gets me more than a waving American flag in a painting like this. Beautiful, and definitely uplifting for me.
I absolutely love it all, though I think the man pointing seems to need a little more shading to lengthen the look of his arm a little.

A great piece of art and it's good for Thanksgiving or July 4th.
