I felt the need to do a bit of work on different body types as well as the usual attempts at creative concept fun. To this end I decided to concept some characters from a gladiatorial arena, different races, genders etcetera, with the idea that the basic physical forms will become more distorted / abnormal, but still ?work? as I go on.
This is number one, the barbarian gladiator elf.

a really nice concept and its very well painted. my only crit would be that the head is slightly too round and not quite defined. other than that its great though.

Thanks, Yeah I see what you mean about the head being a bit too round, something to watch out for I guess. Thanks again.

Looks good :)
I really like the weapon and they way it has been painted.
Wouldnt he need more armour though? His left forearm and wrist area looks a little funky as well.

i think most gladiators didn't have a lot of armour to ensure thtat they were killed in an easy and entertaining way.

gladiators wernt often killed. they cost alot of money .. if the person hosting the even wanted a death they had to pay for that gladiators replacement (iirc)
