About my design

by Mosquito88

Roman soldiers were trained to fight well and to defend themselves. They used their shields to surround their bodies and protect themselves. This technique was called 'the turtle'.

hahah, this is great! the colors are okay, but you could really get them to pop if you added something vibrant, like green. but still, a pretty sweet design. id definitely buy this as a print. =]

Ok, I'm going to be the smarty pants know-it-all, but aren't they tortoises, and wasn't that Roman formation even called 'Testudo', which I believe translates as tortoise?

All that said, it's a good concept :)

*shuffles back to books*

Mosquito88 on May 29 '09

damn. you are right. :p In Dutch there isn't really a different name for turtles and turtoises as far as I know.. The latin word is indeed testudo, which in Dutch is translated to 'schildpad' which is 'turtle' in English.

Wow.. I actually learned something today! :p

I wish you had spent more time on the tortoise's face. :(

@jimmyk09: STOP SPAMMING! Once is too much, three times is unforgivable.

@Mosquitto88: Cool illustration, but I think I'd like a different t-shirt color.
