Aanker's Art

[Aanker]

Something minor, for the competition:



The Foot Cuirassiers of Servaínne were, during the great civil war between the loyalist and rebellious provinces of Hzaar's Empire, repeatedly called up to the front ranks as an assault formation - the only proper infantry able to face a rain of bullets and carry through a full-scale bayonet attack unbroken. After one particularily bloody battle in the Mithaneans, the scattered remnants of one battered Foot Cuirassier regiment knelt down on the hill they had captured from the enemy, and prayed. Virtually everyone - wounded, dying, even enemies that had surrendered - threw away their helmets and, if they had any such left, weapons, and took part in paying tribute to the merciful gods above.

Wicked sweet man + rep

[Radboud]

It's indeed a fantastic piece.

[Aanker]

Updated it with more Foot Cuirassiers to add to the drama.

[Skyn0s]

What a beautiful scene !
Excellent piece of work Aanker.

I think that i love the two versions, the first one with two characters, and the last one with two more cuirassiers.

+ rep of course.

The update is a great improvement (the first seemed a bit empty).

[Aanker]

Thank you all, and yeah, the emptiness was what I reacted on, too.

[KDK]

Awsome work, mate. Really like how you "caught" that scene.

[Aanker]

Thanks KDK!

Here is something different (no time to post the in-universe stuff, will do that later):

[ForteS]

I've no words to describe what I've seen here. Really, really good work!

[Aanker]

Thanks Fortes!

[cedric37]

Nice!! Just too much sky IMHO.

[Skyn0s]

Like Cedric said, maybe too much sky in this piece. But the rest is excellent .

There is a weird dark shape on the left in the sky. Epic drawing though.

[Admiral Van Tromp]

Nice one, and to solve the sky problem, maybe add the Dwarves emblem you made? Anyways +rep.

[Aanker]

Thanks everyone, it's so great to get all the feedback!

About the sky: I am planning on making a thunderstorm in the background, and also add some other interesting things to avoid the current plain bluishness of it.

[Radboud]

Ooooooooo, that would be great.

[Aanker]

Another detail from the naval warfare image. My goal with this project is really to create a panorama, consisting of a single huge scene that can be split up into individual points of interest:

[Admiral Van Tromp]

Simply awesome. Rep is in order and isn't enough to recognize such work. Congratualtions!

EDIT:sorry can't give it.
