Assassin’s Creed Mongolia
Before we started work on Assassin’s Creed: The Fall, Ubisoft asked for some pin-ups to include in their upcoming Art Book. This was my contribution; a Mongolian assassin at the scene of Genghis Khan’s death. Possibly his own daughter? I had a whole backstory in my head when I drew it, but I can’t remember any of it now.
Anyway, it has snow and a Mongolian horse, so that’s good enough for me.

Very cool… well, of course, us total dorks remember that it was Qulan Gal, some Mongolian Assassin, who killed Ghengis Khan with a bow. His statue in the Sanctuary said that, anyway. Nobody said he did it alone, though – I wouldn’t rest easy until I’d shot him, stabbed him, had a boar tusk him like the legend goes, and probably run that horse over him a few times.
He did kill more than a million people, you know – back when that was a full percent of the world’s population.
Right, enough rambling: I like her armor and that you remembered to leave the ring finger off. I’ll totally get this art book when it comes out.
