I started this a little while ago but now with the anniversary approaching shortly i wanted to finish this - though it is such a large undertaking but this is where i am up to yet - its i guess a more romanticised version of events perhaps regarding Earl of Uxbridge with his Heavy Cavalry attacking the French Cuirassiers

you painted this?

if so it's very very good, you are a true artist, don't like all this modern rubbish, paint spills and dead sheep dipped in acid, or a un made bed etc, give me a good old brush work anyday

yes i created it - i do teh drawing through a digital tablet - so its not entirely traditional in its medium though my approach is the same as it would be with drawing as i use a pen to draw the picture on the tablet

well it's a good as i've ever seen, your a pro so well done, it really looks good and i'm not just saying it, as i can't paint at all so know next to nothing, but i know what is pleasing to look at and what imo is good, and yours is better than good is great, so well done and thanks for sharing, contact the game makers and i'm sure they may use the work in something as it's good enough to be pro work imo again...

It is fantastic - well done!

Very, very very good. Look out Mark Churms and Keith Rocco.

well Norbsoftdev and Slitherine were kind enough to include two pics of mine in SOW Waterloo

and this one

wow very good

thanks guys - and thankyou very much for putting out SOW Waterloo! game of the year for me!

Ahhh...I thought the style looked familiar.

i dont think i will ever be as good as Mark Churms or Keith Rocco -

Wow, excellent work. It's a privilege to have your art in our game.

Love the new picture! I'm going to have to get my paint brushes out. I've done a few pictures of individuals but nothing like your superb battle scenes. Very inspiring.

Thanks Tim and Norbsoft - i would love to work for other things for Slitherine/Matrix and any other game publishers also - just in case anyone is looking for someone to do some 2d art!

excellent work Agathosdaimon!

how long do they take you to do?

the first one in the thread i have been working on all week - and admittedly it is still not finished - i am currently going over it again and extending the left side, adding some wounded, dead and retreating cavalry - this will take a bit longer to do as i unfortunately cant spend time doing it when i have to do other jobs in order to earn money - its a very paltry living for now,

Very nice ! Very impressive! Having done some digital art myself, I can't even imagine how many hours went into this.

I'd say you're not far off now.
