Description "The Charge of the Samurai"

This drawing was the β€œlongest” one in my life, with the draft starting in Hangzhou China, and the finished work in New York. It crossed the whole Pacific Ocean and North America. This piece took me a week with the art editor calling me on the long trip to tell me to hurry up. I had little money with me nor time. but I just wanted to begin the journey to the US, maybe just so I could breathe the free air.

This drawing is work for my art show in France. It is a backgrond on a large wall. It is really complicated, but I will show you step by step and maybe you will find it is not so hard.

See the step-by-step tutorial on my blog:

Especially the part when those riders all get down due the firing Gatling gun.

A very bittersweet moment. tradition vs. encroaching industrialized war.

They don't look so much like samurai. More like generals from the 3 kingdoms period, which is even more rad'.

This has got to be one of the most epic samurai charges ever, I was so caught into this I had to fav and comment. The choice of colors make for a grity and fierce scene, combined with the poses of each individual, you know something very bloody is about to go down. You rock!

Well, this one is petty awesome, unfortunatelly i am not allowed to write a critique, but lemme say it on the comment.
first, you had an incredible notion of the colours there, including the shading, it is very fine.
second, i liked the way you made the cloudy sky, and i liked the area at the center which seems to be where the sun light is coming from.
and there is the drawing part itself, which is very good as well.
you added a lot of details to the image, making it interesting to look at and that way you made it always have some new element to see on the image, you surprise the eyes of someone who sees it.
and ou cought the emotion of the moment, their determination.

congratulations for the well-done work, it is amazing. faved it XD
