Done for Round 2 of TUGS at Spriter's Resource. The challenge was to depict a Sipahi (Turkish warrior/knight) meeting a Kshatriya (Indian warrior/knight) at a passage of arms. (I didn't spend a lot of time working on the passage of arms.) There are plenty of problems I didn't address like consistency in art style and lighting, but I'm burned out for this particular piece so any feedback to help me in similar future endeavors are appreciated! :) As a side note, I find that x3 zoom is the best zoom for it.

I must also say that Pixel Joint has nicer character limits for titles than deviantArt :P

Addendum - I must give a shout out to this song which kept me going feverishly until the time limit:

 I've been playing AoE3 a lot lately, and Spahis are one of my favorite units (historically being a pretty wide-ranging concept, in the game they're represented as superheavy cavalry with an area-of-effect attack).  There's so much awesome military culture from the middle-east that's just not common knowledge these days.

AoE3's particularly fun just because it lands in the pike-and-shot era when every culture's soldiery (at least in dress uniform) was blinged to the moon; a trend that's pretty much gone away entirely these days, and isn't remotely likely to return.

Thanks! I haven't heard from you in a while, but I've seen some of your recent work; I'd say you're even further than me. :D

Thanks :)  I'll admit I picked my palette on the fly though so I'm pretty grateful that it doesn't look terrible.

Yeah, the horse's head looked ok... before I added the background. Well, there were still some issues with it, mostly due to me having never drawn/sprited a horse's head before.

Oh you've got to be kidding me- THAT song? Awesome.

I think this is a great piece, but it could do with more readability/contrast in the composition.

wow the elephant looks great.  It looks unfinished in areas, but overall, very cool
