Thanks for the comments!

I'm working on getting some things printed and this will be one of them. I'll let you know when they are ready.

Wow, really, that is impressive.

I like it how they are looking down at the graves maybe thinking ''We are next''. Really good

What other time periods do you plan to portray?

Great picture. Looking forward to seeing more. Big Grin

Do you do any more 3rd and possibly 4th cent pictures.

One small remark, stelae were colored. Nice drawing.
Example of necropolis reconstruction.

But this looks like old gravesm where the colore already washed of, no?

Great picture Johnny, I love it.

I wouldn't worry too much about the gravestones. After all these are 3rd century soldiers, for all we know they could have been looking at 1st century gravestones. Surely 200 years of wind and rain would have washed away most of the paint? Smile

By the way I've had a look at your portfolio, you've been a busy man recently.
Regards,

Hisham

Not that I'm much of an art critic, and I can't pretend to know Johnny's intent. However, I've always felt that the mid-late 3rd was the beginning of the end, and the somber image of this one expresses that perfectly.

Can't wait for those prints to be available. I've looked through the portfolio, and I'd be willing to take a few of those. I noticed at least one, so far, that I have seen published, as well. Good work!
