Arena - Mercurii Dies

Veeeeery lame picture, but as there's a long time I don't update anything and I've got some Internet, I decided to upload it.

The tittle was 100% random; It means "Wednesday" (Mercury's day). I'm reading a very awesome novel that takes place in the Ancient Rome and I'm learning a lot of stuff like Latin words and sentences, old Roman names and how was Rome in the last days of the Republic. The novel includes a map of how was city of Rome during that period *.*

The writer also explains a lot about Roman clothes, how were the lives of slaves and gladiators, and how their owners treated them. The novel it's written by an Spanish woman, Lola González, and it's called "Guárdate de los Idus" (in English it is "Beware the Idus"). I have no clue if it's been published in other languages, but if you have the chance, you should totally read it.

So, a bunch of trustable information for our upcoming BL project (don't expect too much updates since *tabe-chan and me are super busy latelly) but... hey, this seems very interesting, to be honest.

If the picture looks similar, don't worry, I just took one of my sketches and played with brushes, textures and stuff.

Awful result but I guess that's better than nothing. I actually had this picture done a while ago but I totally forgot to submit it here since I wasn't satisfied at all with the result :-/
