Raid Commander [Finished]

EDIT:

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I'M DONE!!!
I learned so much doing this and I am very very proud of it. There are still some lazy areas but it's done mostly.

Referring to the epic scene where Guts single-handedly slashes through +30 enemy spear knights on horseback, demoralizing them in the process. This guy's a legend, I swear...

I've had the intention to draw this for a while, I'm glad I waited till my skills improved enough.

This is the new technique I figured out, applied properly to a new piece: Detailed figure grayscale drawing and environmental painting. Has always been my goal to combine the two, and I finally succeeded. Going to stick with this technique and polish it up further.

The prototype of the style can be seen here:

Will update this as I progress with the piece.

Fun Facts:
I randomly found an amazing stock photo of a horse and just had to use it as reference. I also stole the color palette! Best acident ever
