    ROUND #187:: The Celt
    DESCRIPTION

    The Celt

    Two Week Chow!

    The Celt remembers very little of his homeland any more. Though he was fifteen when he was captured and sold into slavery, his memories of his time before Rome are so few and so fleeting that he wonders sometimes if he merely dreamed them.

    His home, for the last ten years, has been the largest ludi - or gladiator school - in all of rome. And he, their prize pupil.

    Though maybe once he railed upon his captors, it has been a long time since he has thought of any other way of life than the sword, the bow, and the chariot.

    For the last three years, he has been an Essedari - a war chariot fighter. His chariot is his prize possession - even if technically he doesn't own it. He has spilt so much blood onto it that it is closer relation to him than any living person on the entire planet, and he loves it enough to prove it.

    Though he often fights on foot, especially for the one-on-one battles, he and his chariot are now so famous that Rome would be devastated if he did not at least use it as a backdrop for every battle.

    Today, outfitted in all the splendor his keeper could manage, he fights for the emperor himself.


    Note:

    This does not have to be a historically accurate chow, especially since there are no pictoral references for the Essedari. So keep to the spirit, but you don't have to keep to the letter!
    --------------------

    SUBMITTING YOUR ENTRY:
    1: You must submit ONE full sized image.

    My first (and certainly not last) CHOW entry. Pretty happy with the end result but would have thought the design through more if I'd had enough time. Would also have used a little more reference - only some general browsing and ref for the gladius and horse skull were used.

    The main changes during the process were to the helm and shoulder in response to comments and crits from you lovely people. Really had fun with this - Thanks and good luck all!

    Here's my final and WIPs below. Wish I could do a bit more with the background, but I'm just really happy I finished. This should be my first of many entries. Great work everyone, so inspiring, and an awesome topic/round overall.
