Another illustration for the Medieval Warfare Magazine.

This one depicts a very interesting moment in history, when firearms were a major factor in dealing a devastating blow. In order not to bore you to death: from then on, a lot less cutting, stabbing and galloping, and a lot bore bang-bang and boom-boom.

Thank you! May I recommend looking at Urs Graf's work? It is splendid in it's own right for its artistic merit, but also the fact that the author knew the subject so well from his own experience it was a mesmerizing event for me when I was doing my research. I felt as if I had a direct line of communication with the artist/mercenary cutting through 500 years dividing us.

But you already know this, I just looked at your avatar :)

Yes, I'm quite familiar with Herr Graf's work. What I meant was that I'd love to see you do more from this particular period. ;) I'm glad to hear it had such a profound effect on you! It's not easy to imagine how these men must have felt, having, for the first time in history, to deal with the terrors of gunpowder and destruction on such an epic scale.

Hee hee. Marvelous work and great atmosphere in the piece! Great detail, and I love the pants. I think that this age of new weaponry was a very interesting time, and though I don't know much about it, I can get a good idea of it just from this picture. :)
