Foster-Brothers

Description

The three main characters of the comic, relaxing in a rare moment of peace. From left to right they are: Leucetorix, Comrunos, and Brannos. Although the three grew up together as foster-brothers (Celtic nobles had a tradition of fostering their children in another household until they were old enough to bear arms), they have since returned to their homes and gone their separate ways. Whenever circumstances bring them together again it's a time to catch up, recollect the past, and find respite from the trials of leadership and warfare. Here, I imagine Brannos is recounting some greatly exaggerated account of his exploits, only about 20% of which actually happened. :D

This picture was fun. It has everything which I enjoy coloring: shiny hair and shiny metal. Actually, I think I just like coloring shiny things. Clothing is much harder.... especially when everyone is wearing at least one article of plaid or checked or striped clothing, as they are here. Also, Brannus is wearing bronze bracelets, which should not actually be as shiny as I colored them. I realized this afterward when I looked at my real life bronze fibulae, but I decided not to fix it.

Hope everyone likes it! Comments are welcome!
