My brother, who poses for reference in many of my paintings, wanted me to paint him in a style that was similar to the movie '300'. Painting him in Spartan gear was a lot of fun, and a bit challenging as well. A lot of thought went into this piece, from the composition to the setting, and I feel I have a stronger piece of work because of that. I learned a lot about how colors work as well working on this piece. Overall I'm very satisfied with this one.

the colors make me so happy, you
don't even know. So much detail
and awesomeness crammed into one
picture. and it's really the small
things that make it so special ~
like the molten ground behind him
and the flag in the background.
overall, it's a very beautiful piece.
I hope your brother loves / loved it!

You should be very satisfied with this!
Everything in the environment seems to fit in very well. The little details like the blood and the textures are also very nice.
This is great!

my only problem is the tip of the spear is dripping blood but as far as i can see, there is no blood on the spear itself
