Some random creation I made before the new year.
I tried something that is kinda different from my usual work. Unaccurate lining, very few colouring, and bad perspective mesh.
Thus, many people tend not to like it, but i'm satisfied with my own approval
Blame me, blame me d:

Concerning the colours, Voltali Obscur expected me to use only the ones who were on this palette :

Taken from the fire level weekly challenge
I barely used a few from those on top of that...
Few days ago i'd never imagined myself doing something with so few colours...

I did it on a whim. I said to myself "Hey, what about this?"
So I started sketching it really quick on Paint and added colour straight away, everything came pretty fluently...


Concerning the inspiration, it's a fanart about the Battle of Red Cliffs also known as the Battle of ChiBi, opposing Cao Cao's *the guy who shows his back on the pic* forces and the allied Liu Bei and Sun Quan. This battle was decisive : if Cao Cao had won, he'd have dominated China for good.
But the evil Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, respectivly Liu Bei and Sun Quand strategists, made a crafty plan to destroy Cao Cao's forces. Zhuge Liang summoned the wind from an altar while Zhou Yu put the fire on Cao Cao's ships... The result was kinda dramatic and the army drowned or fled...
Poor Cao Cao )':

Hope you like it d:

Yes, i have to admit it was made on a whim just to make something to end the artblock i had on december

So it is not the best i have made, but on next pixels i'll be more accurate d:

 

Thankies for the colour, but as i stated, I used a premade palette that was given by this site for a challenge, so i don't have any merit at all, alas

Thanks for comment!

Thanks for the feedback

Yes, this work lacks a lot of working concerning details. I tried to improve the mountains when i made it, but i couldn't get something satisfying, alas.

Grayscale? What for? I'm very curious to know how it could help

 I saw you tried to do the cape of the commander, general idk who he is... It needs more shades to create the movement. The sea waves are just shaded near the boats. The mountains needs more improvement in detailes.

ps: try grayscale
