Please full view! Thank you!

This is another sketch,... similar to the "Homeward Bound" drawing. I think I like the combo of these purple and black pens. I might do one or two more... who knows. Anyway,... this sketch is pretty much done. I don't think I'll do anything more to it. For one, it isn't spectacular. If I had planned it out better, i might have been tempted to finish it. So...no references were used,...just drawing from memory and making things up as I go. It was sort of inspired by Mongol warriors, who were excellent riders and pretty good archers. Although they plundered and pillaged parts of my homeland, somehow I'm still fascinated by them. There are many tales of them coming through, but one stuck in my mind most. Basically some Mongols were coming through looking to pillage one of the castles, and one of their warriors fell in love with the sister of the man who helped them capture the no-good noble. This warrior, sick of traveling, decided to stay in Slovakia, and marry this girl. They had children, and eventually the locals started to call their settlement after him. True story folks................ The full version is a lot more interesting.

This is how I hope I'll be able to draw someday. I love the movement in the image
and how the riders position is so perfect for his task. The balance is just great

Prototype Says:

Very well done, and the texture is very detailed. I can only imagine the time spent in this.
