When I read about a big black and white painting depicting a battle, the first thing that came to my mind was Guernica by Picasso - but I don't suppose that's what you meant, haha!
I didn't think about any specific artwork while drawing this one, any inspiration must have been subconscious.
Anyway, thank you! :)

Haha, no it's a different one. 😝 How long did this take you? Also it's tradition art, rights?

To be fair, I can't tell you precisely how much this one took me because I've been working on several drawings simultaneously. At least 5-6 hours, I guess. Probably more, because I get easily distracted.
As for the media - as always, it's a mixture of traditional and digital methods. The linework is drawn with a pencil, I also painted the smoke in the background on a separate sheet of paper. I scanned everything afterwards and had fun with it on the computer (inverted the colours in certain parts, for example).

That's a very cool method. It was kind of hard for me to tell because some parts look like traditional art while others look digital. I mainly only do traditional art but I started trying out digital art a while ago. In fact, here is my first ever digital painting www.deviantart.com/art/Lips-Un… , mind taking a look? 😆

Looks very good for a first attempt at digital art! You should definitely pursue this path!
That reminds me, I've been planning to develop my digital skills for ages. Might as well give it a shot this summer.
