All my life I've enjoyed reading science fiction. Among my favorites are the John Carter books featuring romantic adventures on Barsoom (Mars) written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. With this painting I wanted to reach beyond the imagination of the wonderful authors whose books I read and paint something solely from my own mind.
Everything in this painting is original. Please allow your eye to wander and take in every part.

Contribution: PhotoshopDesigning a suit of armor, shield, and weapon is great fun. I decided to paint a guard posing in front of a wall wearing the set I created. In the fantasy genre most people, these days, paint dark violent scenes filled with mist and extreme action poses. I decided to compose a scene that's more what you'd get if you where to snap a photograph of your buddy posing in the bright afternoon sunshine. Naturally if your planning on having your picture taken your going to want your armor polished till it shines. This guy's squire is an expert.
