Now...this is one legendary historic woman who should be taught to us. She went through so much and she was strong, a true queen.

You know, the Celtic People are very interesting and I think I might want to look more into them.
How did you learn to do the designs that most of them were, they tribal designs.

Boudicca was a pretty bad-a woman, and i think you captured that really well. I think she may eventually have won back all of Britian if she hadn't been out manuvered.

She wasn't out maneuvered. In fact, Suetonius holed up in a dependable position and she recklessly attacked his force because she thought having more then ten times as many soldiers made her somehow strategically inclined. She even arrogantly brought in civilians to watch her expected victory. Then, when the Romans crushed the attack, Boudicca's feeling army was caught between the Romans and the civilian wagon train. The 10,000 Romans then destroyed the entire 100,000-230,000 enemy soldiers. They also destroyed the wagon train as revenge because Boudicca had slaughtered the innocent civilian population of three cities. She ordered the killing, raping, and desecrating of 80,000 men women and children. The only reason she is remembered as a hero by people who don't care about history is because she was turned into a propaganda tool for British nationalism.

I love this! It is truly a stunning peice of art. I have been studying/researching Boudica for many years now and this is the first drawing that I have seen where you can feel the intimidation. I love it. The only suggestion I would add is making the face a bit more rounded. But that's just one persons thought. Hope I didn't offend you.
Again, great job!

I'm glad this picture speaks to another Boudica fan! And I actually agree with you about the face. I have some new Boudica art I need to upload and the faces are much better.

Wow. Color? Pweeeeeese? Wow I love European history stuff, especially during the Roman empire, and this is great. I am so into the Celts around this time, and the druids, and last year in my second year Latin class we read parts of Caesar's commentary on the Gallic War (I can quote the whole first paragraph) and then proceeded to learn about the early Empire, and we must have spent like 2 weeks on Boudica. She's awesome, I must say. Shame on Emperor Claudius!
Like I said earlier, you must color!
Yay for Celtic peoples, and druids, and stonehenge, and like early Celtic stuffs, and all of Boudica's peopleses!

Haha! That's so cool!
Can't wait to see how you color this one...it's got lots of little details which might get annoying.

WOW! She's awesome! Ok... this one is begging to be colored
I once did a really lengthy study into Celtic stuff. It started with the legend of Arthur. Then I just got into the history of Scotland. I have several friends I've know for years now from there. One day I hope to go there. ^_^ And Ireland, both are part of my heritage.
One thing that really fascinated my was the Isle of Man. And I so want to learn Gaelic!
