Excerpt I  X
Battle at Sohnwick

The summer’s evening sun glinted off spear and helm among the Tralysan Royal Brigade as they stood in formation upon the dusty gold fields before the keep at Sohnwick. There were thousands of men, numerous mangonels, four trebuchets, and six siege towers. To the north and south were still yet more troops and engines of siege. Lord Sohnbie reviewed all this from his point atop the walls of his stronghold. With the sun at his back, and Steward Dunclow’s army before him, it appeared as though a thousand stars had descended, heralding the coming of night, the coming of death.
“Father, save us!&#

"Didn't Get Dressed Up For Nothin'" is the proper title.
Just couldn't fit it in the space allowed.

A little quick illo put together. The horses actually turned out pretty terrible if I do say so myself. :D
What was really important though was just finishing a simple drawing for a change - unlike a project, I have tons of these unfinished drawings everywhere; all half drawn and ages old.
I like the guy kneeling with the "horse killer" and the cleric in the foreground.
I gained an idea from doing this illo: towards the right side, and amongst the spears, do you see something on a staff that appears to be a standard of some sort with tendrils flowing to the right? I've got plans for that. . . .

I just began drawing something which turned into this, and I was reminded of that line. ;)

Haha, nice title XD I can relate with the whole unfinished illustration thing.. The only pieces I actually finish are the more recent ones I've put up on dA. This is done with marker? I really would like to get better acquainted with that medium... but there's something about it.. that requires such commitment with the usage... I'm too chicken haha

Sometimes I'll get screwy with the brush pens, but they're magic when it all comes together.
