Homoioi 'Zenodoros' the last one is clearly fictional, just a character concept I wanted to work with. Some of these are fairly rushed, I have better examples that are either unfinished or not scanned. I don't finish work often, I prefer sketching. ![]() [size=92:7tw9zbc0]- Bonnie Lawson: proudly Manx.[/size]

Tarbicus: Link fixed! Thanks!
Zenodoros: Nice work! Your style has a non-refined, yet distinctive quality! Very cool. I especially like the gruesome Spartan Kopis, what with scalp material dripping off the blade. ![]() What do you think of my guy? His pose isn't quite as vicious as yours! ![]()

Mythos_Ruler, I like it nice work especially the armor
and Zenodoros, very nice as well and was the scare on "Zenodoros" ment to look like a lambda? That was my favorite part.

Nice one, Michael! I just felt the urge to ask, but is the hoplite inspired by my poor attemt as shown at AoM Heaven (for those of you wondering: noooo I won't provide a link, you don't want to see it!)?
EDIT: I just noticed Zenodoros' artwork. Sweet!

Lee, Michael Good work.
But press on it relentlessly like a phlanx! What is good can be made perfect! Kind regards

Thank you.
![]() Michael, your hoplite is great, of course. Excellent detail on the linothorax especially, I think you have a better understanding of drawing it than I do. You should try a Spartan sometime!

Zenodoros - were you the one to comment about my hoplite on Deviant Art? Just curious.

Paper's not long enough, usually.
![]() And yes, I did reply to your hoplite, Michael. ![]() ![]() [size=92:7tw9zbc0]- Bonnie Lawson: proudly Manx.[/size]

Thats what happened to me too - the paper wasnt big enough for my mind's eye or else I would have continued drawing downwards.
![]() I went ahead and used my own concept work as a basis for a new hoplite texture for the game I work on, "0 A.D." (image attached)

Wow, looks cool. Think we can see a model of it?
Also I saw 'hieros lokhos' written on the sidebars of the main site, does that mean there's a Sacred Band afterall? ![]() ![]() [size=92:7tw9zbc0]- Bonnie Lawson: proudly Manx.[/size]

Quote:Wow, looks cool. Think we can see a model of it? I'll "talk to da boss" about posting a little example here of what it looks like in-game. About the Sacred Band, if I had prizes to give out, you'd win a prize, because I put the Hieros Lokhos reference in the Revision Log to see if anyone would notice. :lol: No, they won't be in the game as a standard unit, but will make an appearance as part of the game's single player campaign. :!: A quick question about the Sacred Band for anyone who knows (Stefanos?): I know the Thebans began to use quite a bit of lamellar reinforcement in their body armor. I was wondering how this would have looked. How visible would this have been and where on the torso?
