Hungarian Champion of the Black Army with magical properties of the hungarian culture. He is seen in a battle serving under Mathias Rex.

So my initial idea changed a bit and I rather went with the topic of Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin. Our ancestor came here to the Carpathians with an outstanding military force. The main focus was on horseback riding and the ability to shoot the arrows backwards. I tried to capture it in this sketch. Also the persepctive and scene is representing the mountains of this promising land we had to cross.

Starting to compose the ideas for the character. Not sure about colors yet.

I refined the concept. The idea is that the characters magical ability is enhancing the arrow. This ability is granted to him by Shamans. They were common in our culture. This is shown in his tatto on the forearm.
