Eurasian nomadic warriors in sketches
Salve,
I am going to finish today's outpouring with some progress sketches of my beloved Eurasian nomads, the Scythians...
Salve Jan, I have not done any work for publishing since Radk Sikora's book last year -http://www.wanax.pl/index.php?p1151,z-dziejow-husarii there is the Ancient Warfare magazine vol I, issue 4 2008, Osprey's ''Shadows in the Desert, Persia at War'' http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/Shadows-in-the-Desert_9781846031083 Infort's http://www.wanax.pl/index.php?p471,biala-cerkiew-23-25-ix-1651 Lubieszow 1577 http://www.wanax.pl/index.php?p461,lubieszow-17-iv-1577 and some other work eg http://www.wanax.pl/index.php?p456,filippi-23-x-42-p-n-e or http://www.wanax.pl/index.php?p447,ajgospotamoj-405-r-p-n-e pa ka
Dariusz, Great work!! Especially the last one with the typical Scythian helmet and copied or modified (neck collar somewhat higher than the Greek one and the armor consisting of several leather pieces)Greek Linothorax is very interesting to me. I would like to know if you really meant a normal Greek Linothorax or that you changed deliberately bits as to mean that the warrior modified the armor for his own purpose (better fit, greater protection,..) If you have a source for the armor, can you please let me know? The info. would be very welcome. As the warrior is wearing a Linotharox I suppose you meant the warrior to be a member of the Royal Scyths, who had great contacts with the Greeks? Hope you can answer my questions. Especially the Linothorax intriges me very much. Thanks
Lots of interesting and cool updates lately!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying these sketches, but I've been wondering - is there perhaps a book I could buy with finished illustrations done by you?
