Description
Here is a picture I did of Jacque and Cheval battling the Russian army at Borodino. I'm really happy with how the smoke turned out. It appears Jacque and Cheval are getting ringed in but no fear. He's a Cuirassier! He can handle himself.Related content

Not gonna lie... I mostly grieve for that poor saber! No work of craftsmanship deserves such a fate

I know right!!! But if it bent so easily just think it could have been a poorly made sword. If it makes you feel any better.

And the horse can kick rear and front also.

Yep. He's an all round fighting machine.

Great scene, do you have any plan to draw Waterloo?

Thanks! I will be doing some Waterloo scenes in the future.
I did one of Quatre Bras which happened right before Waterloo.

The beauty of this scene is interesting... the man that worries me the most is the one approaching from the flank... the resulting charge could be painful for our French heroes. Though it was common for both sides to don white gaiters such as those... hopefully he's a faithful Grenadiers de la Garde ImpΓ©riale rushing to the aid of his brothers!

Oh thank you so much! It could be a Russian but it could be one of the Old Guard. If it is the latter it will be bad for the Russians assaulting Jacque.

Your battle scenes are so epic! I like the perspective you used.

Aw thanks! I'm quite happy with it. I thought it would make it look cool to have a down view of the battle.

This looks awesome and shows the action from a rarely used perspective.
I like ho the cannonbal and the broken sword is in the center of the picture and notΒ Jacque's duel with the Russian officer. As forΒ Cheval... well, a horse with a bayonetless musket duking out with several infantryman with bayonets... ain't the best chances for him.

Thank you so much!
I like that too. Ever since watching 1970's Waterloo I can't not put cannon balls lodged in the mud. Don't worry about him. He knows how to shoot. XD And I wouldn't want to be the guy who get's the empty gun tossed at him either. Cheval is quite the war horse as we shall see in the upcoming comic.

Smoke and mist are so hard to do well, but its addition here adds so much depth and feel to the pic. Well done!

It is really hard. I'm really happy with how the smoke turned out. Thanks!

And he knows how to use it!

Now if only the horse could use his tongue to pull the trigger...Β Β

Oh he does!Β LOLΒ It also fills his mouth with fire which enraging him into a rampage.

"What happened to you?"
"I got hit by a horse with a musket."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"Not really."
This is a pretty intense battle! Great job!

Looks like his horse is the one keeping him from being surrounded.

Yep. Cheval always has Jacque's back. The Muskettoon is usually mounted on the saddle without a bayonet. Don't worry though. Cheval knows how to shoot and the stock makes a good club.
