Aeneid Doodle (Cont.): Creative Platypus

Quick marker doodle of a soldier from Virgil's Aeneid. I did a little research on Etruscan armor in an attempt at verisimilitude. The shield is too small, but I like the roughness and slight awkward angle of the spear. It gives it a little more of an "authentic" feel. ...and that's so much of Virgil: modern, apartment-dwelling, fast-food-eating Roman tries to imagine life over 1,000 years ago in a way his urbane audience will buy.
