I've been doing a rundown of ancient warfare images for my portfolio, and I was wondering (since, aside from a carpet and some feathers, the african elephants in EB are still pretty much the same as in vanilla) if I was going the right direction with this image.

What kind of images did they have on the carpet things on the elephants' sides, as well as on the shields?

Anatomy and technical stuff will be cleaned up...



As long as I've got access to all these history nuts, I figured I'd make use of it before I started inking this one.

If anybody knows a good site for images of ancient Carthegenian warfare, please share the wealth (all I could find on google were a few images of table top game statues...)

Thanks in advance...

(by the way, EB has been my main source of reference for most of the images - thanks for doing all the research for me, guys! )
