Historically Wrong Sketch 1 - Sarravids Triumph

Description

As the title says, this is an old drawing I've made 3 years ago before drawing the Women Warriors of the Historically Wrong Sketch Series. I'm not sure if I have uploaded before, but it appears to have gone missing from my gallery. I suppose, every artist has to start from somewhere and in my case, if you were wondering what my drawings used to be like, here's some of the examples! :)

I still remember back then when I used to play Age of Empires 2 and Empire Earth back in 2010-2011 and have always wanted to draw warriors in the scene. At that time, I kinda liked the Idea of pitting seemingly unrelated historical empire against each other, as opposed to the common depiction of battle. Also, my knowledge in history and warfare was probably close to zero, similar to how most people often generalize all Germans are Happy-go-merry Beer Drinking Bavarians :D

Nevertheless, that's how I came up with the name "Historically Wrong Sketch Drawing", which, as the title says, draws historically wrong scene. Like this one for example, depicting a Saracen Inspired Faction called the Sarravids, which became the basis of the faction on which, the Mameluke Women Warrior is depicted. The faction banner is based on crescent moon and triple s line, which is basically a symbol of hot spring =P.

Back then, i didn't have any preference on what paper to use and most of the drawings were taken with my crappy phone camera from Samsung S1. I mostly drew from this paper size which is somewhere between A4 and A3, using 2B Mechanical Pencils.

It is wonderful how your skill has grown, even though the potential is easily seen here.

There were some miniatures wargamers in 1973 who gamed Henry V against Genghis. It was quite a mind bender, I heard.
