when you want to do art based on the roman legions, but you failed history class and you can't help but insert your weeb faggotry:

That's very well done. However, the imperial shields were rectangular (the one you drew are more from the late republic) and as the segmentata leaves a bit of void between the body and the steel, a woman should be able to wear a normal looking segmentata

Thanks for the advice! This piece was done far too long ago, too bad I cannot really remember the specific references I studied.
Anyway, the concept of the work was a Gallic-German girl, fighting within the troops. I know it's a total fantasy. Guess I just wanted to draw a blonde girl in the Republican Roman armour.

Oh wow, this looks incredible. I love the perspective you used, and all of their facial expressions are very distinctive. This picture has a great dynamic, I can almost sense the movement of soldiers and the sounds of their fighting.
This picture really speaks to me because of personal reasons. I'm writing a story that's placed in a fantasy world which is not based on Middle Ages, as usual, but the time of Antiquity.. and guess what, one of my main characters is a fair-haired, green-eyed legionary. I was googling pictures of warrior women to set myself in the mood for writing and then I saw this.
I searched half the internet to find the original source of this picture (it was rather hard, this has been uploaded to so many different web sites!) just so I could come to say that I really enjoy this picture and that it inspires me a lot. I'm going to fav this & set this as my laptop's wallpaper, if that's fine by you.

I of course faved this, because it is awesome, I am also a huge fan of the Roman legions. After looking at the picture again I noticed a striking detail. I don't know if you did it intentionally, but it looks like everyone that is bracing is curling their toes. It is not a detail I would have ever thought to add, but when I think about it seems it would be natural to do that when wearing sandals.

Great use of perspective and attention to detail. From the tip of the gladius in the extreme foreground to the near-twilight sky [an hour past dawn? an hour until dusk?] in the far background, this image has interesting and relevant detail. (I like how you can effectively place characters in such different and well executed milieus, yet still retain the distinct style of your characters.)
What is reflecting the light onto your hero (and the left-handed legionary in the foreground). From the shape of the light falling on her shield, you clearly had something in mind to realistically account for the spotlighting. I'd be interested to know what would have been in the picture had you extended it to the right a bit more.

Let me see. I started this one simply because I felt like drawing a blond-haired legionaire girl back then. It was an enjoyable work drawing the Roman army to its details, and I still like this one's overall concept and air -it's such a fascinating job to paint twilight skies-. However, knowing the hero's character herself is all fictional in the first place, I paid only a certain amount of attention to its historical correctness, and that I regret very much now.
Anyway, they're battling against Makedonian phalanx, maybe elites among them, men wearing silver shields. Yellowish lights on the hero and a left-handed legionary might be from phalanx's silver shields shining under the faint twilight, or from torch lights held high by cavalry units in the back of the phalanx.
I appreciate your compliment,thank you.
