Basmachi Fighter, Soviet Conqueror

basmachi-portrait
The final of the Protagonist - the basmachi fighter, looking back over the last chunk of free Central Asia.

sovyetski-komandir
The counterpoint to the Basmachi Fighter - his soviet antagonist riding past the ruins of Samarkand.

I tried to make sure the two portraits were connected by similar compositions and approaches to lighting.
