Looks neat!
Pearl Abyss have done artwork for all the BDO classes that use a bow like that. I think you're thinking of modern day bows which are like you said. Pearl Abyss draws the fantasy bows the other way as do many other mmo's.
Really nice artwork though Halihal I love the movement in the clouds behind.
There is a reason why you put arrow to the left, or to the right of the bow (depending on the hand you are holding the bow with) and that is to hold the arrow on the right level with your finger. This is especially the case with classic bows, which don't have the plastic arrow holder like modern bows, which was added to decrease the chance of missing (less places where archer can make mistake). It is not impossible to shoot the bow with arrow on the "wrong" side, but it will be a lot more difficult and why would you make your life difficult for no reason? :D
So the friend that pinpointed this slight mistake in fanart is good observer and by no means should be downvoted by you guys ^^
Nice, but arrow is on the wrong side of the bow. Details! :)
As one who shoots bows, that is the LEFT HANDED way to shoot! Yes, some actually have a bow made for left handed shooting, as in this pic, and would be quite normal. It would be on the other side if you shoot right-handed as most do. Even most Left-handed people shoot right handed cuz most bows are made for that specifically.

It's not only about real or phantasy. My uncle is a bow master, he's now 70, and he's righthanded, but his bow has arrow rest aka shelf on the right, and he was holding his bow with left hand, and he tought me how to shoot arrows with his bow, so for me and him the way people shoot these days is wrong, while for everyone else it's right. Things are different everywhere, and things change with time.
@Halihali The artwork is good for a beginner, there's a lot more to do because there are some mistakes and it's not finished.
Thank you all for the love and comments <3
