Nice one.

Three looks good as a gladiator. And hmm, no criticism at all I wonder why so many people (myself included, sometimes) are still obsessed with what was only a very small part of Roman culture, i.e., the whole gladiator thing?

Oh, I thought it was rather rare once you got outside of the city of Rome proper and into the conquered territories.

I'll bite... it's like professional sports, only more manly... baseball, only you don't hit a ball you hit the other team... it makes American football look wimpy and unmanly... if you think you can jump for a slam dunk I bet you can jump for a lion... like soccer except you skip the game and get right to the brawling... hockey comes close, just take away the refs and play dirty in all the fights... and if you win, you get all the trappings of a professional athlete...

Of course than there was the whole bloodthirsty populace thing and Rome's descent into barbarism... but they had gladiators, man!

I'll do prints of the digital version :)

Singlets are awesome. Good work!

I think this looks better than the digital version.

Although...

Is her... uh... stomach area supposed to be THAT thin?

Actually yeah. Her anatomy is insane and kind of annoying to draw. She's skinny but has big arms and shoulders and strong legs. Plus she's flatchested.

No, the flat chest I understand. Her being skinny too.

It's her waist... it looks like something out of a 1990's Image comic book. Way too hourglass-like.

Eh, what do I know.

Quite an interesting experiment. If I had to choose, I'd say the digital one was the better one, but I especially like how the poster came out in the traditional version. The digital version is more atmospheric, but I would say that it's because of how the background came out. The main strength of the traditional piece, as is the case with practically all traditional pieces, is the texture of the medium, which gives it a sort of liveliness that's hard to replicate with digital media. Either way, awesome work, and I hope this sells well at FWA!
