Happy to see this one completed. :) Great work. An absurd number of characters, and a lot of interesting little mini-stories being told throughout the image (even if most of them consist of "Augh, I've been stabbed!" or "Augh, that guy just got stabbed!" I think my favorite detail of the image is the fact that in the reflections on on the helmets, you can actually make out the vague forms of the other soldiers in the area. Really cool!
Haha no, you are absolutely right. I noticed this after I had painted the sword and realized that it wasn't aligning in his hand properly, and certainly not to have cut the frontline soldier. I was happy with the focus on the sword though and left it this way, hoping it wouldn't be too noticeable. Oops!
Your work is always stunning, Caraid, but the magnitude of this piece...just, wow. I'm glad I got to watch some of it being worked on in-stream. I'm curious--what dog breeds did you use for this? I'm thinking Airedale terrier and foxhound/pointer/one of the related breeds, but that's just a guess (not like I'm some sort of expert on dog breeds, lol). In any case, very well done!
This is truly stunning!! The composition, the level of detail, the sense of action, the depth of the characters ... this is simply an amazing piece of work. This is the level and scope of work that hangs on the walls of major metropolitan art museums. I am in awe of your prowess and skill! Congrats!
Prints are indeed available! :) Right here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/cara.....-at-the-front/
Thanks very much!
I certainly have an interest in history, I've done a fair amount of research for this piece and I do enjoy reading historically accurate fiction and recollections of certain times, but I can't honestly say I'm very well versed. I don't know as much as I'd like to!

Amazing pice!!!!!
I used to be in the SCA and had partaken in a war practice... 80 fighters on the field at once, 50vs30 we were the underdogs.
I personally witnessed another human being wearing FULL PLATE ARMOR jump 8 foot gap between lines and land ON TOP of the defenders on the other side !!!!!
All hell broke loose after that.
Superb piece of art here Cara!

As somebody of Scottish Ancestory, I highly approve of this rendering. Most excellent!! The details are just amazing!!
Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame,
Fareweel our ancient glory;
Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name,
Sae fam'd in martial story.
Now Sark rins over Solway sands,
An' Tweed rins to the ocean,
To mark where England's province stands-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro' many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling traitor's wages.
The English steel we could disdain,
Secure in valour's station;
But English gold has been our bane -
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
O would, ere I had seen the day
That Treason thus could sell us,
My auld grey head had lien in clay,
Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace!
But pith and power, till my last hour,
I'll mak this declaration;
We're bought and sold for English gold-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
Positively stunning! This is probably one of the most awe-inspiring things I've seen come from this fandom, ever. You really are a force to be reckoned with!
If you don't mind me asking, what were the original dimensions of this piece? There's so much clear detail and the piece is so large that I'm assuming something absolutely massive? :o
