Here is the finished Spartan/Thermopylae knife. It has some colored gold plus some yellow. I was pretty happy with this one, I really wanted the characters to convey the emotion and attitude of the Spartan soldier(difficult due to half their face being covered by a helmet), which was no fear of death and distain for their enemy. On the left side I wanted to show the unity and the formation that made them an army to be feared. On the right side I wanted to show the brutality of the Spartan. His expression is one of disgust toward his inferior enemy, he has beaten him into submission and yet the look on his face is saying "your not even good enough to die by my hand", as he delivers the final blow.
Anyway, thanks for having a look, let me know what you think. Thanks -Brian
