Description
My brother, who poses for reference in many of my paintings, wanted me to paint him in a style that was similar to the movie '300'. Painting him in Spartan gear was a lot of fun, and a bit challenging as well. A lot of thought went into this piece, from the composition to the setting, and I feel I have a stronger piece of work because of that. I learned a lot about how colors work as well working on this piece. Overall I'm very satisfied with this one.

This is a really good looking painting! I especially like the way your background goes on into the distance, and you can picture the 300 Spartans standing abreast waiting for the Persians to come into the pass. Nice picture!

This is just stunning. 2D & Fantasy just isn't a good enough category. I'm voting for the 'DAYUM!' category. ")

I love the color tones especially the orange clouds against the blue sky, very striking. The atmosphere and lighting really make Leonides stand out. Beautiful work.
