Show your Roman artwork

I see you've used the Blashfield painting of Commodus in your art and for your avatar. That's a pretty obscure work. Now in the Hermitage, I believe.

Yes! Your the first person to spot that! It's certainly a great painting.

Thank you, Jeremy! Very interesting artwork you have there - there is really something surreal to it. I like it.

Yes, the landscape is right out of some of the Salvador Dali´s paintings (and I mean this in a good way) ...

Emperor Mauritius and his sons overseeing their rebellious army in 602 AD:

Awesome pavel. Reminds me I need to do some more drawings.

Thought about doing a page of comic-book style concepts. That kind of art really fits my style IMO. I like black and white, and whatnot.

[AMELIANVS]

Go for it!

Three sketches1-Julian is presented with group of captured Persian women

2- Roman headhunter group ambushing Frankish marching column returning from raid into Gaul.

3-and very sketchy sketch of battle between 4t century Romans and Germanics

I'm debating on whether or not you should take the first one down because it technically qualifies as "Porn", even if it is art, but then again only RAT members can see attachements. I'll defer to higher judgement on this.

[AMELIANVS]

I strongly disagree that nakedness alone is a "Porn" and even more so if in the context it is used here. :wink:

P.s:and if I would show naked celtic warrior would it also be endangered as possible porn?Or only if women are shown naked?

[Flavivs Aetivs]

The rules would go either way, men or women.

Again, I'm not familiar with the topic and am deferring to higher judgement. But there are users on this forum who are under 18.

[AMELIANVS]

I hope I did not morally devastate anyone under 18 or ruined someones young sole by showing naked woman.Honestly I think scenes of brutality are much more worthy of such caution...yet it is natural nakedness which draws much more attention?Maybe it's me who is strange but I found this a twisted logic and approach.

But of course if rules of this forum really have no problems with brutality but natural nakedness(not "porn"kind of nakedness)in any context is prohibited here I can't agree with it from moral point of view but I will obey rules of this forum.

[Flavivs Aetivs]

My concern wasn't morality, just that it could technically be considered Child pornography depending on the country, laws, etc if someone under a certain age sees it.

Chances are that's not going to happen, and if it did it's statistically improbable that someone would report it. But you get my point.

And also, yes, generally speaking shooting someone isn't seen as nearly as offensive as a naked man/woman is. E.G. Parents didn't care about the fact their kids were beating up hookers and killing cops in GTA San Andreas, but when someone made an unofficial modification to the game and put it on the internet which released explicit content removed from the Game, it was a national scandal and they re-did the whole ESRB.

(BTW, I'm not against Violence in Videogames. Studies have proven it has no effect on the developing mind.)

I've got something in the works I hope to have up by the end of the week.
