No. It is just a rough sketch. I didn't give any thought to scale. I am sitting here second guessing it though. I think I am going to replace the waves with a key pattern and replace the scorpions with something else.
I want to make a second aspis with a sunburst pattern in the center bowel. Then a key pattern on the rim with the same key pattern moving the opposite direction on the bottom of the bowel (maybe inverting colors). I am just thinking I probably don't want both my "Looks" to be the same city state or pattern. A bit boring don't you think?
I am getting a chalcidean helmet to go with the linothorax so I am thinking of just doing a second representation. I have seen purple. Was it used at all? I am thinking of using it as the bowel color behind the sunburst. Then I could use a little purple on the thorax. Just thinking out loud. Maybe purple, tan, and black for the aspis with the same colors on the linothorax....I feel like I am beating the same drum pattern. My Roman and Greek shields and colors are ALL red and black.
