I need a Greek Man and I need him now!

[tlclark]

Ok, now that've got your attention.

A friend of mine is working on a fanfic for Marvel and there is a slim, (make that very slim) chance that they may pick it up for publication and he wants me to do the cover image. Well I haven't drawn anything in years.

So the character is Ares (Yes, the Greek God of war, but he is also a Marvel Universe character) and my art skills are rustier than the tin-man after a monsoon. So I'm looking for reference photos, a model who will dress up and take shots of his glorious person, a chance to flex your muscles!! Literally!

There's no money in it (Heck, I'm not even getting paid!) but I need someone in Hoplite kit who would be willing to pose in some specific poses and have someone take pictures for reference shots.

We are looking for shots with and without corinthian helm, spear, muscled cuirass and shield. Preferably someone really fit, like a cover model of "Men's Health". If you look Mediterranean and have a full beard, even better!!

I've looked over a lot of the re-enactor shots and - no offense, but you are all a bunch of pasty middle-aged pasty white guys. I'm one too so that's no shame. :roll:

So if you have olive skin, dark hair, ripped abs, and don't mind taking pictures of yourself and sending them to total strangers who will be looking at them VERY closely, you may be a weirdo and a shameless exhibitionist, but hey we want you!

We know about the whole "300" website, but we are looking for something a little more authentic.

And yes I know how this sounds, after making a post like this I am well aware all RATers will be entitled to throw innuendos my way forever. So be it. :roll:
