"On the March", illustrated for @ancientwarfare issue 108 (out now!). A contubernium of Roman soldiers takes a break from the harsh conditions of a march in the East in the first century AD. Dust caked faces, blistered feet, incredible heat-I really wanted to convey the exhaustion of a forced march through difficult terrain.

I love creating large-scale compositions. An exercise I did during my studies really helped me with this: I would print out all the paintings I liked, and then analyze their composition. I did this with several hundred paintings. In my view this is the best way to learn.

The talented and knowledgeable David Rickman reconstructed these warriors first attested in 1689, until the early 19thc, in a series of drawings, showing how even the legs were protected under horse armor. Not included are their thick buff coat with neckguard and helmets.

Recreation of an armored Comanche horse from 1700. Raw hide scales with sand glue on provided protection against arrows and melee weapons. It eventually fell out of favor when guns became widely available.
