I'm stuck on this battle in Total War: Attila.Β
Visigoths are pretty awesome.Β
The arrogance of Valens seemed to have outdone him.
Also, I notice that outfit looks like it has clossoinne (sp?) art.Β Makes me wonder why the romans went that way.Β The independent germanic people (and peoples subject to them) were apparently copying the romans, maybe once they'd converted over to christianity themselves.

I said the same thing on facebook but your art is really steadingly improving. Not only is the attention to detail on the clothes and banners great but you really nailed the facial expression.

And on the other side, Fritigern is waving a sword and shouting: "Hey, Valens! I've got a little gift for you!"

No need to represent it directly, the battle is reflected in Valens' gaze. I love the detail of the eye. That alone would prove your knowledge on your business.

Beatiful illustration, it seems a scene of a film or a drawing from a comic! I expecially like the face of Valens, so scared!
