Assassin's Creed: Vindication - Winter Strike

~ My first Deviation and serious digital scene painting. Quite an feat for my first steps into proper digital art.

This is part of an concept for Assassin's Creed Vindication an purely fictional AC game/story I thought up.

The Assassin 고귀매 (Meaning: Noble Eagle) (In his basic Assassin robes) executing an momentum assassination on the last descendant of the Ōuchi family, who's existence had been kept secret by the Imperial Templars. The scene occurs during an covert takeover of an fortified town located near an mountainous region in Korea during the first part of the Imjin war. Just think of it like the assassin den system in Revelations.

The funny thing is I used the Ouchi family symbol after seeing how it looked like the Templar cross on my first look of it. I have never experienced actual snow before, so this was quite an challenge to paint, even with the amount of resources I can find.

Special thanks to these artists for all the inspirations!
