View Full Version : Hannibal looking at Carthage with melancholy
Hi, i was doing a bit of photoshopping, and i come with this small hannibal composition, nothing huge, and very superficial, but i wanted to share:

yeah, he looks kind of sad:grin2:
hi sarkiss (long time didn't see) anyway it was supposed to be more a sort of poetic thing than a sarcastic thing :sweatdrop:, it was my friend who make me notice he looked melancholic, from that, the title:beam:

That's pretty nice and, as you say, poetic. It would be nice to write a poem to support the picture. Good job! :yes:

We could all contribute a couple of lines. How about:
I looked upon the glit'ring sea,
upon those ships as tall as trees

woooow great picture. A mix of the (sadly few) pics i like the most relating to Hannibal and Karthadast.
Is it possible for you to provide an higher resolution pic? My g/f wanted to give me this xmas a sort of a painting of Hannibal+Karthadast and she has been collecting some pics and this one has now become my favourite congrats :balloon2:
hi, unfortunately the pic was already zoomed out, this was the original pic i used as a base to colorize:

as you see it is very small, that is why i didn't go further on colorizing it and adjusting it, the detail was very small due to the size.
I can just try to zoom it out with Photoshop, but it will loose detail, here's a tryout:

as you see it is just a software zoom, so the backgraund looks granular, but i think if your g/f need a base for a painting, then it could be ok with the zoom, good luck!
Anyway im happy you liked it:beam:
edit: adjusted a bit the beard around the mouth directly on the zoomedout picture
@jaertecken it was used photoshop to colorize the original statue small picture
