dA Spartan

So
First things First, This is a coloring/painting of this WIP sketch which was intended as a tattoo commission, but because the guy didnt like the helmet i had to redo into this :
But since i prefered my orginal design, i kept it for future coloring, and since deviantArt had spartan Llamas i thought i might as well make this Spartan a bit out of the ordinary xD

So in my mind he became a Troll Slayer, a devoted protector of dA, guardian of deviants and fighting off unwanted interweb trollz

Its all for the lulz of course, so if you go in full view, you will see the dA logo on his tunic button, and a likl dA spartan llama guarding (his smelly feet?)
The inscription on the front of his shield are the initials of dA written in ancient greek -> Αποκλείνουσα Τέχνη which is literally Deviant Art translated
and the sentence on the side of the shiled is again ancient greek written in its archaic 1st greek alphabet, saying No-one is born an Artist.

Coloring the old WIP had been on my mind the entire week, and i sort of leaped into it on Sunday, and never stopped thinking about it, which wasnt the best of things really, cos i have a 1500 word essay to deliver tomorw D:
but hell you cant stop the artistic flow once it starts !

The amount of things i experimented with and learnt...!
i decided to go all abstract and realistic, but wanted to keep the lineart, so im sure it came out nice, the shield especially looks wicked

I used many custom brushes from Rahll i think, and maybe an imaginefx pack, but the rain brushes were the icing on the cake if you ask me

FULL VIEW PLEAZZE !!!
