Description
I put a frame around this because I posted it first at a site with a black background. Wondering what it will like here with the white bg.
Also seems that I have the shields mixed around. The Roman on the ground whould have the kneeling shield while the German/barbarian should have the round. Thanks to Professor Hopalong for that history lesson ;)
This is what happens when you let artistic license take over :) Lol!
I'm off to see Path to Terabithia with friends today. I'm hoping that it is a fun, fantasy get away for the afternoon. Enjoy your week ending!!
Btw, this looks SO much better on a black background. ROME

Kool bloody action scene, geez in the heat of the battle I would grab anything...limbs, tutu's, wigs etc. no wonder these two ended up with different gear ! fantastic work Nancy ~Cheers~
Fantastic action scene..I really love it! Excellent render Nancy.. Beautiful background too :)
Very good! Lighting is perfect for the mood. The blur on the background was also a good idea.
fun- bloody -tastic May the shields are right and the soldier are in the wrong place??? Anyway...... a awesome work of art here. Love P.
Fantastic!! :-)))))
Fantastic!!!! Excellent work - absolutely!!!!
This is very beautiful a real nice work of art.
Stunning work of art!
Magnificent! I love the whole composition. the way you have highlighted the battle in the foreground is fantastic.This goes down as one of the best designs I've seen on the Renderosity gallery for this style of work.
Love the light. Beautiful work!
WOW Nancy superb image excellent depht and movement.5++++++++++++
As a medieval recreationist I think this is an awesome scene.... and as mentioned before.... in battle shields are often lost, destroyed, thrown down, and you grab whatever keeps the sharp pointy things out of you.....
Gorgeous render and scene!!!! This looks like an oil painting!!
FANTASTIC! Great climax of action. Love how you "focused" the focal point.
Bryce with content! What a dramatic scene. Congrats! The lighting is very nice, reminds me a bit of the great (historical) painters.
A terrific, beautifully done action scene ~ Bravo!!
Hi Nancy, You really do very good work and I notice you have quite a few admirers, can't blame them. terrific.
So stunning bryce artwork as always!
This looks like 300...or a scene in a killer video..."another bites the dust"
great dramatic scene, That Goth's kicking ass!
A dynamic battle scene.Well done.
Breathtaking, despite the shield mixup!!!!
Nicely done again Nancy!!!
I lost the weekend with server problems but back now so I can comment at last. Nancy this is an exceptional piece. The battle scene and posing is excellent here and the darkness works well because this is the way it would have been. There was no electricity in those days, so no spotlights or searchlights to help them identify between friend and foe, they were dark and bloody times and you have captured it beautifully. Congratulations!
First class work! Very impressive and one of my favourites of yours! Cathy xoxoxo
Bravimo ! Superb art work Nancy.
Hopalong is right. the only way the Greman would have aRoman sheid if he took it to replace his broken one in batter and the same with the Roman ;;;cool looking
DAYUM love the detail, awesome posing and angry dudes!
As already stated.. itnt strange if weapons and armory get mixed up in a battlefield. I know Ive been in a couple of battles in my apartment. Anyway I think you did a great job. The focus is just Right.
Very nice, detail is well done and overal composition works well.
