This is Buliwyf from the movie 'The 13th Warrior'. He was the first one to volunteer so he was the 1st warrior. This is the scene just after the last battle when he sits down and dies from the poison inflicted upon him by the 'mother' of the Wendol.
That is an awesome movie. Especially that last battle scene. Buliwyf is on his death bed. Everyone is just waiting for word of his passing while they prepare for the enemy. Suddenly he comes staggering out with only his sword. No armor except for those bracers on his forearms. He plants himself at the forefront and lets the blanket drop from his back. When he starts to recite that prayer or whatever it is as the enemy rides over the hill and approaches the fort..."Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see my Mother and my sisters and my brothers..."
Talk about goose bumps.
Awesome movie. Best version of the Beowulf legend ever.
P.S. That guy who played Buliwyf would make an awesome Marvel version of Thor.
Nicely done sir, I hafta agree this movie is the BOMB! I don't know HOW many times I musta watched already but I never get tired of it! Great story, great casting, great sets, great costumes. And based on a Michael Crichton novel!
Never saw that one but you make a compelling case to rent it. I really like how the drawing came out... this one's a bit different for you, looks like all markers, a bit more serious too. Great job!
