A couple of hand painted banners from my Justinian army.

hopefully seeing this thread again will get me to pull my finger out and finish the army! I'm actually only about half way through!

The idea is to put on Dara 530 CE on at a show sometime..... As I have said, partly because of my inability to stick to the units who fought there(!) I still have half the Byzantines to finish off before i get around to the Sassanids!

Gorgeous.

If you don’t mind my asking, what’s your process for big freehands like this?

Thank you. They're not actually that big (To give you some idea- I think about 3-3.5cm wide). Basically I just pick an image, draw it lightly in pencil then paint- "fat over lean" but without the oil paint

I might try to do a tutorial at some stage if there's any interest?

I definitely would be interested in a tutorial on painting those!

OK, the next time I get around to painting up a figurative Early Byzantine banner I'll put one together

These banners are so cool that I want to put the Empire back together (on tabletop

)

You know if you can manage that in oils on wood, you could have a profitable little sideline knocking out religious icons. Beautifully executed.
