Since i'm just starting here at FA i thought - eh - start with some pictures that are still in development as well.

The compositional stage - i might change this around a lot before it's painted.
i wanted it to be sort of flat-on and somewhat primitive.

Some ruffs and studies seem to me a finished piece in their own right...
Sometimes the pencils etc have a quality that's much different that the
finished work.

Antiquity 1 was Ptolemy's Egypt (Cleopatra's time). Here we're in Greece or maybe Minoan culture.
