"Eastern" by Sam King

Face looks like man, Arrow on correct side (person who said that what the), Bow is good looks powerfull, and she aint gonna get in to the heart of battle so its not like she naad much armour. she needs to move.

How about Grey One?

why is she half naked? If she is going to be fighting wouldn't she rather her tummy be covered up?

The wine worked just fine! The title is perfect! When I first saw the thumbnail, I said "the man knew what he was drawing"!

Cheers

Desert thorn.

I have a perfect name....Too much wine.

this pic could be a good idea for a Haradrim archer. Only there's no snake insignia.

Thats what I was thinking Johnathan. The shin-scales are reminescent of the Haradrim/Easterling's armor in LOTR.

I don't think it would be suited for any Islamic/Ottoman empire's soldier, because I had thought there was something about covering up the women's flesh. However, I do think pre-islamic arabian mythology and faith held a reverence for female-warriors. "A woman's presence at a battle is an inspiration (rather like a goddess figure) common to the Arabs, in the pre-Islamic tradition of the Lady of Victory. This Lady of Victory, her hair flowing and her body party exposed, appealed to valor and passion." From a site of Zenobia of Palmrya's biography.

She could be a Persian or Sassanid (Late-persian) warrior, or a fantasy group that was based on them, I think.

For a name? Something to capture feminity with warfare, perhaps. "Bow-women of Artemis" defeats the idea of being Near-eastern (if not following a greek pantheon, but a faith indigenous to the region), but Artemis was a huntress and it could work..

the byzantine, or the turk seems to be good

to Sahran - premuslim arabia was even stricter with women’s place in society. Take greeks - just because Athena was the goddess of wisdom and strategy, didn’t mean that they held the female mind very highly.

Also - awesome picture. Love it. (possibly except for the bare belly.)
