Some updated sprites for a Hoplite-like unit, heavily based upon historical Byzantine soldiers.

I usually don't do concept stuff, but i've been Inspired by the Osprey books and seeing other's do concept sheets like this I wanted to try something similar.

Items:

1. Spangenhelm with cloth backing for protection, commonly used by Larissan Soldiers.

2. Another varient of a Spangenhelm, a looser sketch based concept. Sometimes identifying tufts may be placed on the top.

3. Paramerion, a curved sword, often used as a side-arm.

4. A kettle-style helm, less common than a Spangenhelm.

5. Padded armour, known as a Kavadion, widely used by Larissan troops.

6. A Kontarion, a long spear in common use.

7. A large kite shield, a less common varient of the Teardrop shield.

8. A large teardrop shield, large enough to cover the legs.

9. Common thigh-high boots in use.

10. A phrygian-style helm, an older design brought back into fashion.

11. An oval shield, an older styled shield that is also sometimes used.

Would recommend Cyangmou's stuff, he's much more focused on that kind of thing. I wanted to create my own faction of troops ground in low-fantasy, and based on historical equipment but im not totally wedded to it when it comes to creating more stuff

we need more historically acurate pixel art in my opinion

Thanks! Not sure if the quality is good enough to accept it into the gallery like this, but i am aiming to add more to it over time.

I like the kettle-style helmet, not really sure why, it's just a fun shape! These are really neat to see tho, keep it up!
