Description
Cover art for the board game Persian Wars done for the good people of Alcyon Creative. Check out their games!
I was inspired by reading ''Gates of Fire'' by Steven Pressfield so I painted the lead Spartan here as Dienekes as I imagined him while reading the book.
You can see more of my art on my website, instagram and artstation accounts.

Very nice!
side note, I often wondered what a female version of this would look like. Guess I am just too much into Red Sonja!~
Great job on this!!
