Fanart of King Leonidas from the movie/graphic novel 300.
This was kind of an experiment in markers for me. I worked much differently than I usually do, tried to rely more on shapes than lines. I didn't use any thicker pens than a 005. I was half-expecting to fail but I'm actually extremely happy with how this turned out.

PLEASE, if you see this, drop me a comment and tell me what you think. Or vote. Or something. I worked extremely hard on this and I want to know what people think of it.

SPARTAGH! Anyway, I haven't seen the movie yet, but my boyfriend did, and he wanted to say...your picture is "bad***"
I also think it is very well done, the marker work is really really smooth stuff here, and you did a good job capturing the look of the movie.

Hmmn , I like the way you've done with the focal point you go straight at him and the soft lines. It gives it a sort of old/ancient look to it. ^^

Wow. Gorgeous! I love the style, and the whole Schindler's List, color-only-the-cloak scheme.
Yeah, the movie didn't disappoint. The costumes weren't accurate (duh!), but everything pretty much went down how it actually happened in the history books...
