Inspired by 300, the Spartacus series and a doodle I did on my notepad one afternoon, I decided to try my hand at a Spartan design for a t-shirt. Also as a source of inspiration was the website spartanrace.com where participants take on an obsticle course. Their t-shirt/logo is simply a spartan helmet and I wanted to expand upon that. Hope you like it.

Below is my initial doodle and thumbnail in the bottom right plus the original sketch of the soldier in pencil before tracing it in Illustrator.

with added grunge effect.

I chose "SPARTAN GOLD" for myself but I've done several variations available on HERE.
