Anthropomorphic ermine hoplite rides an armored warhorse leading a chaotic ancient battlefield charge
This dramatic painterly fantasy artwork features a stoic white ermine outfitted as a Greek commander, wearing a plumed golden helmet and holding a Medusa-crested round shield atop a richly decorated dark warhorse. Swirling muted storm tones contrast with bright crimson cloak fabric, as a surging army of soldiers and distant fortress battlements fill the chaotic battle scene. The mood is epic and rousing, rendered with textured classical oil painting brushwork.

Entry in the Self Portraits and Representationis theme on BudgetPixel.

New Profile Picture If youre wondering what animal is this? its a ferret why a ferret? here is the thing, originally the objetive was a ermine, the reason; Leonardo Da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine oil painting, i never dedicated professionally to art, but when i was a kid in school and learned about renaissance in history class, that was my starting point of art; da vinci, botticelli, caravaggio. Well why the ferret if is an ermine of da vinci's painting, well like a year ago, models by them didnt prompt ermines, they did a weird squirrel or otter, a most people thought it was an otter, btw otters were very popular back then on NC, so i wanted to break away, already were a plenty of users with otters as avatar, then i found that prompting a ferret i get a closer result to a ermine! Oh and im a hardcore greek mythology and ancient greek civilization fan.
