Description Originally a Warrior concept for the FEZ contest but couldn't make the deadline so I went with a straight up historically accurate Zulu warrior.

Created completely in Photoshop CS4

Excellent art! The lighting effect and composition make for a strong impression, backed up by the colourwork. Good shading as well, and those feathers on the head are very finely detailed.

Please pardon me asking, but would you by any chance be interested in allowing the Ninth Age (T9A, non-profit volunteer-driven spiritual successor of Warhammer Fantasy, with an even more historically based fantasy setting) to make use of this artwork of yours? Due credit and linking back to Deviantart pages always given, of course, and all art donations are on the artists' terms, for as long as the artists' themselves give permission.

I'm asking, because T9A have a project cooking based around fantasy Zulu-Massai: www.the-ninth-age.com/index.ph…

Just wondering, since your depiction is so fine. In any case, great artwork! Have a nice day.

Wow! Amazing work! Love it!


I was wondering if you could let me us this image for an Android game called "Kingdoms of Myth", it's turn based strategy game based on a fantasy World. You can find a little bit more info in this rough website made by my colleges lifeisinfinity.eu5.org/infinit… (Sorry for the bad English). Of course you will have full credits of your work and link to your webpage if you want


Lot of thanks for your time


P.D: By the way we just created now a Facebook with more recent pictures: www.facebook.com/kingdomsofmyt…

Thanks! The Zulus used dyed ostrich feathers for their war dress. Surprisingly fluffy.
