Warriors in Bondage 2

Continuing with the theme of fantasy warriors in bondage,
I found these men at Simon Barnes' photography site Hopsnapz

Roger Snipes by Simon Barnes
Roger Snipes' appearance has many qualities appropriate to a fantasy warrior including a muscular body and stern facial expression. This pose also suggests nobility and humility.

Thankfully, (from my point of view) there are no long flowing tresses of hair and Simon has not given him furry underwear (I'll overlook the leggings!) I must say, if the weather is good enough to run around half naked (and bare foot!) on the battlefield I can't see why a warrior would need to wear fluffy animal skins evolved for colder climates!

Harry by Simon Barnes
'Harry' somehow cuts a more modern look thanks mainly to his tidy short hair. This style is quite popular in Hollywood films for well connected Romans and their Generals. Did barbarians have hair cuts too? Probably, but perhaps not as precisely coiffeured as this!
For authenticity I'll settle for the muscles, sweat and blood.

Harry's a bit young for the warrior role depicted in my previous post but I can imagine him following Roger into battle to meet their fates.

You can see more of Harry and Roger at Hotsnapz
Simon's photography is worth looking at, it has a bit of unexpected edge sometimes.
