Description
Roman Soldiers taking a break from marching, they're tired and they have been marching since morning. It's been rough and the appointed officer is dragging them along, their will will not break for they have to fight for the glory of Rome itself! For now, a short break and a roasted piglet.You can also find me here:

love the brush strokes in this one, the mood and setting is nice as well, you could push the composition a bit more though, making the flag bigger and closer to the viewer perhaps and making the soldiers a bit bigger too, just my thoughts, good work.

Thanks again for the numerous comments
Making the soldiers bigger is a great idea, hard to make out all the sexiness from that far away.

Thank you Rovanna Β
I was using references for some of the objects in the painting, that helped a lot with making it real and natural

This is so beautiful. The scenery reminds me a lot of where I live; there are a lot of open spaces and farm country, and it is especially like this in the fall. A very peaceful composition indeed!

Wow, I love the setting and mood this delivers. Somewhat of an Autumn feel to it, which is my favorite season.Β
Beautiful concept nonetheless!

Yum yum! I can still imagine the taste although I'm a vegetarian

Ah, vegetarian, a healthy lifestyle. Although, it can be difficult to get all the proteins that your body needs. At least, that's what my biology professor says.

Well, maybe as a Vegan. I go without any supplements, so far so good. Although I've been a vegetarian only since May 2014.

Right, vegan. Maybe that was the one he was talking about. Because most vegetarians still drink milk and eat yogurt which have some good protien value.

Yeah and I eat eggs which cover many things meat used to do, and it's pretty fun being a vegetarian too
