A raider is a viking, he has a helmet on and it has horns, its from the 1800's. Usualy carries a sword. I need something that has one of those maybe...thanks

ok..this is just funny...what you NEED to do is study..some SERIOUS history....vikings in the 18th century...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......try around year 700 - 1100.....oh well..kids grow up...just do me a favour...do NOT under ANY time of your life if you happen to stumbel over one of my fellow norwegians....ask the time old question: "Hey, you from Norway? Do you have icebears in the streets there?"....WE DO NOT!!...and Norway is NOT the capitol of Sweden!!!

sorry dude....just had to.

btw..vikings never had horns in theire helmets..its a myth.

Don't bother, american stereotypes are strong. I like this one.. all countries look up to USA because it's #1

I bet that if the Vikings were still around today, they'd be amazed at all the glow-in-the-dark stuff we have, and how much we take it for granted.

MarshallX · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2001 3:31 pm

Alright, maybe my school sucks at history but our logo has a raider with horns so whoopdy doo! LOL. All im asking if for some ideas, not to get lectured on Swedes, k...anyone got some positive ideas?

SporQ · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2001 3:39 pm

yeah, do it yourself. thats the only way you'll learn to draw.

MarshallX · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2001 4:07 pm

I KNOW HOW TO DRAW!!! I just want some different opinions, is that so bad to ask for? I mean what is this place for? Ideas, critiques, help and everything and thats all im asking for is for help, cant someone just help me out here!

SporQ · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2001 4:30 pm

the thing is that many have come before you asking for "help" then claim the art as thier own. you'll get much more help and advice if you even try to do something then post it for feedback.

I'm in the process of getting the body figure right, im am currently making a raider posing with his arms at his sides, lightning bolts are coming out from his hands and it says raiders at the top of teh bolts here is a sketch of what it looks like... http://www25.brinkster.com/vermast/raider.gif
this is just a line sketch of the body position, what you think?

SporQ · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2001 5:18 pm

maybe try a little more dynamic pose, something like this....

el quicko

Osmodius · Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2001 7:18 pm

I say you just do a few quick sketches of a few ideas you have and see what works for you, why leave it to someone else's imagination, you'll like it a lot better if you do it yourself, you have more controll

Okay here's what a raider is:

quote

Quote:

Few soldiers traveling a road to carry out a raid would connect the words road and raid. However, both descend from the same Old English word rad (long A). Old English rad (long A) meant �the act of riding� and �the act of riding with a hostile intent; that is, a raid,� senses that no longer exist for our word road. The ai in raid represents the standard development in the northern dialects of Old English long a, while the oa in road represents the standard development of Old English long a in the rest of the English dialects. It was left to Sir Walter Scott to revive the Scots form raid with the sense �a military expedition on horseback.� The Scots were not the only once conducting raids, however. We find these words in the Middle English Coventry Leet Book: �aftur a Rode... made uppon the Scottes at thende of this last somer.� While road is not used in this way any more in English, a trace of this usage is still detectable in the compound inroad, literally �a riding or advance on or in.�

No creed was specified or anything. Raiders are just anyone who raids another person's land, home, etc.

These are the raiders I think of

As kahboom said raiders tend to be thought of more as a pirate because of the Football.

MarshallX · Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2001 9:43 am

I think our school is using a viking, into a raider, and this has to go on a tshirt, so it cant be shaded or anything, any other ideas?
