"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?"
"We go South."
Stupefied look and momentary pause. "Okay. Bump, bump, bump."

The Gladiator
My latest commissioned illo, Inspiration for this piece is definately directed towards Brom and Darksun.
Well yes, I knew that he won in the spirit of the movement for freedom, but I actually meant winning his fight in the arena (in the movie) where Woody Strode's character spares him death and throws his trident at Crassus instead. Great movie.

Goodness! I haven't seen it in ages! It's a great movie indeed. I should revise my classics: i'll make it a double-feature and watch The Vikings again!
So Spartacus actually won...?
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Atom.
