Description
This is the finished product after I coloured in the lineart for my drawing.The idea behind this was when I was watching the film again. I wondered, how it would be like if the women did all of the fighting? And this is what I came up with.
Hope you enjoy this... because I did

Cheers, this was a bit of a random idea that I had and just quickly pieced this one together ^^

IΒ΄m not sure if they used these Copis-like sowrds. DidnΒ΄t they usually use the Laconian Short Sword as their side arm?

I just winged it when I drew this, besides these swords look badass xD

According to historians, women were trained just as vigorously as their male counterparts and actually engaged in some combative activity at one point. [link] The video gives decent coverage of their history.

Nice. Just keep in mind that Spartan women did train in fighting, if the historical accounts from Athens can be believed. According to several different sources, Sparten women were trained in fighting, because 'strong women had strong sons'.

"Clearly, you don't know our women. I might as well have marched them up here, judging by what I've seen."

Have you ever heard of those....oh my....I forgot. They're like an empire run by women, all of them like spartans. When I remember I'll let you know. -.-

You will get up to where I am if you decide to practice, practice, practice. Experience makes up for most of one's drawing skills. You need to know what colour and what shade goes where and how thick which line is, and the materials will draw the picture for you.
Most of my works are based on my experience (12 years for that matter) and I will definitely not stop.

Woah, 12 years? Well, I haven't been doing this for 12 months (7! xD)
so at least, as much as I suck now, i've only to improve later on! xD
But I'd like to eventually get good at art, to be able to express it better.
But I do practice as often as I can, so that's a good start, at least
