Description
After suffering from a creative block for almost 2 months I finally managed to get a drawing done. And surprise, surprise it's a "Dynasty Warriors" one. Who woulda guessed?So this is Wei general Zhang Liao making a stand at Xiaoshi Bridge during the battle of Hefei. Reportedly in history he repelled the Wu invasion of 100,000 troops with a force of only 800 men and destroyed the bridge as the Wu army retreated 10 days later.
This is actually the first of a suite of drawings I'm doing solely for exhibition and sale at an art display my former high school is holding in May.
I'm pretty stoked about that, but I didn't want to put old drawings that I'm attched to up for sale so I'm drawing a whole lot of new ones!

Sweet! is this ur kung fu master(just joking(unless it actually is(i think i'm using too many brackets)))
for somereason this reminds of the kashyyyk level of force unleashed, maybe it's coz this guy oozes power(kinda like darth vader)
how many more drawing r u planning for the sale?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well considering Zhang Liao died in 222 AD that is definitely a possibility! Actually Sifu Zhang would be pretty cool
Yeah I guess this is sort of kashyyykyyy isn't it?
My ideal plan is about 10, but I'll probly only get about 6 drawn in time.

Perhaps you could do a general battle?

Yeah they're awesome. Heh it wasn't easy, those guys are crazy! A general battle is definitely a good idea but I was thinking Zhao Yun vs someone.

very cool details and coloring, man.
...why's he so mad at the floor?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
Well maybe he stubbed his toe or something XD
Actually though, the way I had it in mind is that he's issuing a challenge to the opposing troops, sort of a scare tactic.

ahhhhhh, alright. that works.
or, maybe there was a cockroach there.

Yes and he can't have bugs spoiling his fighting mood, can he? XD

Thanks! I'm still experimenting with lineart free bgs, it sort of gives a more natural feel I reckon. But damn those weeping willow trees are difficult to draw!

That's an awesome attack pose! I like the kanji as well!

Thank you! I started wushu martial arts recently so now I'm hoping that attack poses I draw will seem more natural and realistic. Yeah I thought it would add a nice touch.

That's a great idea to use what you're learning and apply it to art!
