Back to the larger realism pieces ⚔️🦁
Really enjoyed working on this one. Combining the Spartan warrior and lion gave it a strong, powerful feel from top to bottom, while keeping plenty of detail and contrast throughout the piece.
The lion's expression, armour details and overall flow were the parts I enjoyed most bringing together.
Projects like this are always a good reminder of why I love black and grey realism.
Would love to do more warrior, mythology and animal-themed pieces like this 👀
What would you add to a sleeve built around this theme?
