The recent film 'Troy' did not succeed on a very necessary level: it was not clear (to this viewer) that Helen and Paris were in love enough to do what they did. Here I've tried to capture two people who are too young to really know what they're doing, and too in love--really irreparabley in love. Gonna color this.

I love the style of the picture, especially the way you did their faces.

Again, so simple and so detailed. Really cool!

You know what I really noticed here? The costume detail. It really becomes apparent that Helen and Paris are from differant places. You didn't just slap the obligatory Greek key pattern on but took the time to find a differant pattern to use that fit the personality and background for the characters.

Yay! You should really colour this one, it's great! Yeah the movie was horrible, and Orlando Bloom is NOT Paris!! I like the way you drew him here, very Grecian. Good Job!!
