Historically Wrong Sketch 4 - Battle of Jima

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. Anyway, 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! :) (Smile)

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 (Big Grin)

Nevertheless, that's how I came up with the name "Historically Wrong Sketch Drawing", which, as the title says, draws historically wrong scene. This drawing portrays the fighting between the Sarravids and the Kingdom of Jima, two of the faction which became the basis for the Mameluke and the Korean in the Historically Wrong Sketch Series. I wasn't sure what I was thinking back then, but it must have been pretty intense stuff to depict the butchery :D

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.
