Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Excellent work again JP, your work just keeps getting better. What's with the guy with the fryer tuck hair do? Was this a traditional Celtiberian hair style or does he just have a problem with baldness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Vieira Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hello Gaius Thank you for your comments. The "friar Tuck" look was a traditional Celtiberian look. Best regards JP Vieira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASCLEPIADES Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Salve, JPV! The half-bald guy at the left seems much better armoured, not only than his fellows on this slide, but also than the previous Celtic (Galatian) warrior (slide 17). Is he an officer? Oh, and BTW, X-cellent illustrations, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Vieira Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hello Asclepiades: the guy on the left is a veteran; He has manage to acquire (including taking from dead enemies) much more equipment that the other younger warriors. He uses both native (Celtiberian) equipment (like the sword - falcata- greaves, the 3 javelin behind him - soliferrum- and shield - caetra-) and captured roman equipment (helmet - italo-corintian- and breast-plate). His haircut also reflects the fact that he is an older man, because it was a traditional hair-cut, used more often by the older men. Thank you once again for your comments Best regards JP Vieira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vibius Tiberius Costa Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Amazing! I love your refined style, unique yet profoundly original. Can you give me an insight onto the attire of the crouching celtiberian has. He seemed to draw my eye even though he is in the earthy colours.

JP Vieira Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hello VTC: the crouching figure is a younger skirmisher. He is wearing a simple tunic and he is armed with javelins, a l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
