Hahaha...well, the shield's not Spartan...but anyway. Reminds me of 300 which I loved so whee. Great job!

Amazing. I love it! :D

A history magazine? Well isn't that swanky.

Very good job, though! What with all the "300" hype as of late, you'd think it would be inspired by that. At least somewhat.

Hindi ko alam kung ito'y dahil sa mga tala, o sa kahilingan ng isang nakatataas na mga manlilikha, na sa dami dami ng mga tao sa isang silid aralan, ang sino pang hindi handa ay may malaking tsansang tawagin ng prof upang sagutin ang tanong sa pisara.
Actually, that shield -is- Spartan... they didn't start using the famous lamvtha on their shields until long, long after the Battle of Thermopylae and the Persian wars. The leopard on this image is a symbol of the Pylos morae.

I love this picture, saw it on RaT forums. :) It's so refreshing to see accurate Spartans, especially when they're drawn so well!

awsome work mate, excellent rendering, the highlight on his shield gives it an excellent feeling of realism! bravo!

I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because I was thinking about doing that anyway.
