I'm always quite jealous of artists, and not only for their talent. If you can draw a decent picture you can tell a story with that single scene while writers have to write the whole bloody story, which might not get finished since we pass out drunk halfway through. And you've got a whole story up there; bloody battle in a snowy clearing, most his army killed, him mortally wounded, and most likely about to die as well.

"We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
Ulysses BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON

Knock a man down and not even persuading him to stay there in the process. That is kind of a fail, though, isn't it? "Bro do u even slay?"

Amazing work! His arm is cut off? I see blood around the area and what "looks" to be a stump.

First thing that came to mind was Woad King Darius from League of Legends. Might just be me, but nonetheless, phenomenal piece!
