Description
For Sparta Lacedaimon!Quick sketch that turned a little more realistic than I expected, so I added lines. Wow, haven't done pencils in a while.
Only 2B used. Around 3-4 hours?
And I have no idea how I found time to do this while nearing highschool finals. Must be after-effects of playing Rome II again. A little based on 300 but only for inspiration--they don't charge in nude like some barbarian.
Now, back to reading stuff.

Magnificent! Did you know that Lacedaemon and Argos spent 200 years fighting each other for supremacy in the Peloponnese? When the Argives were finally defeated just before 500 B.C. They swore they would wear their hair short in the Spartan fashion until they retrieved their lost territories. In turn when the Spartans heard that they decided to wear their hair long in the Argive fashion until that day occurred.
