Title: Gladiatrix (updated 14.04.2013)
Post by: Painting Princess on April 01, 2013, 12:27:10 PM: Hi all,

Meet Livia, gladiatrix. Finally finished painting her over the Easter weekend.

Here is a front-on shot:

And the shield design below. I painted it with a symbol of Apollo, and it's my first attempt at painting a design freehand:

There is a full picture of the back view of the figure on my blog, along with a couple of other pics: http://painting-princess.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/livia-gladiatrix.html (http://painting-princess.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/livia-gladiatrix.html)

Hope you like it! :)

I took another pic last night. Thought the rivals looked cool when I saw them poised in their archways, ready to take to the field.

You have a very neat and clean style that I appreciate, and that FIRST attempt at freehand is damned impressive!
