Happy to share this painting from 5 years ago, Attila the Hun vs the Romans at the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields.
It was probably the most ambitious painting I worked on at that time, spending countless hours correcting mistakes.
I hope you (still) it!

TBT! Painting I have made around 3 years ago. The legendary battle between Atilla the Hun and the Romans in the Catalaunian Fields.
This was a learning experience, Needed to maintain chaos of the battle and readability at the same time!
