Wonderful!

Could you post pics holding the shield in the two positions described by you?
|Wow! Totaly awesome! Thet is great work!
Well done Chris. Now a touch of red and it will be perfect.
Kind regards
Chris lovley work. Well done
Where would there have been red for certain? I was under the impression from our discussions that the old landowners were all black? Let me know.
"old landowners were all black" correct. (black background)
The style of the era though included 3 colors.
So some suggestions:
A touch of red on the scorpions eyes or last segment of the tail.
A touch of red on the personal emblem.
Kind regards
Weren´t the Thespians deploying black and white/silver only?

No. Thespians had 3 shield devices and silver was not among the "official" colors.
I can see that game designers have already done their damage.
Kind regards
Okay, assuming that I put eyes on the scorpions.....Did they have multiple eyes like a real scorpion or only two? The tail is done. I don't know if eyes would look good or not. Almost would look like an after thought to me. I'd still like to know, but there is red on the stinger of each scorpion now.

Ahh, don´t blame any game designers... I usually don´t play any computer games, seems a waste of time to me. I just thought I remembered that from a different thread here.
So what were the thesbian shield devices, then?
Chris: touch of red on tail better. Or red on the cental disc of the personal emblem. Based on the bight red star of the Scorpio constelation caled "ANTARES" probably one prominent red eye.
Cristian: the Thespians had a "Spartoi" clans so a type of snake is asociated with them and Hecate and Melena Aphroditi were among the patron daities of the city so the emblems related to them crecent among them.
We still research to reconstruct them.
Kind regards
The first pic was a "visiting exibition" from Olympia Museum.
The shield though comes from a statue.
The second pic is from Dodona Museum.
Kind regards
From a large statue though,probably real size,right?So,wouldn't the shape be accurate?Also,do you know of what period was the statue?
Since the chap is wearing a bell cuirass, it's Archaic Period or represents the Archaic Period.
