I swear, it's The Hobbit that has made me want to draw so much fantasy lately.

This time a barbarian woman sleeping against a tree with two human men. I don't have a story behind this yet, so any suggestions as to what is going on, how they ended up like this, or the relationships between the characters?

what would be cool if all the men in there world where captured. and then put in big group cage's. the brunet was a warrior that was caught. and the blond a towns folk kinda guy who was about to be put into a arranged mirage when his town was ravaged by her kind. both the men meet up and try to make a plan to escape but slowly the brunet falls in love with the blonde. when they think they are about to escape they get chosen to be a prize in a battle. after being cleaned up and pampered like woman they eat and gathering around the barbarians daily with some other men one girl see's the brunet and likes his fighting spirit but also likes the blonde because of his soft nature. she sees that they are in love and confronts the brunet who thinks lightly of there love. during the battle that finally arrives to win one of them she wins the brunet in combat.she fell in love with him which is against the rules. the barbarians are similar to amazons. means that she can not submit to a man , this makes her week and the week are not allowed so her eye gets cut as a mark she is no longer with the clan. as her and the brunet are leave the girls home land, the blonde sneeks out to be with them. she says she will help the blonde back home and the brunet who's in love with both of them decides to tag along. the girl is a soft spoken wise person but lets her anger get the best of here. the brunet is afraid of commitment because of a prier relationship so he can be a jerk at times towards the soft blonde but is truly in love with him just is using the girl as a excuse to keep his hart from being hurt again. and the blond is a simple man he dos not like to fight but will if he has to also is very cute at times with out even knowing it

idk... i can see the one on her arm as a potential son, but the other guy's looking a little too fondly at her for him to be a son..... maybe it's just me overthinking it, but yeah, still awesome no matter what (before i saw the son comments, I had the idea that the barbarians raided a village and those two were her.... uhm... sex slaves?... who actually start liking her....?)

Why does it seem like the guy on the left is staring longingly at the guy on the right?

When I see this Iīd like to imagine that the two guys are prey from a raid, who got very used to their captor and donīt need to be tied up anymore...except for fun ;)

I think that she saw them in danger, and took them with her, and the one on the left is happy that she saved him.

The two men are lifelong friends, never staying in one place twice and travelling town-to-town as soldiers of fortune... Who had the misfortune of walking into a kingdom mere moments before a barbarian raid. The man on the right saw his friend hopelessly outmatched by the invaders' chief, feathering him before he could land a killing blow. Both were summarily taken to be executed but were saved by a shield maiden, moved by their deep and far from brotherly bond. She took both men as her thralls, to the protest of none: the chief was a cruel brute.

They resent her at first, though she treats them well, and warns them against the wilderness at night. That doesn't stop the one on the left from convincing his companion to literally escape her grasp. Though she's maintained an impassive, gruff exterior all this time, the barbarian's fallen for both men. Swiftly tracking them down, she barely saves them from a troll, at the cost of her eye.

The one on the left is now admiring his work on it... and eagerly waiting for them all to get their strength back.

I definitely got the feeling that she is very nonchalant about the human men but still very possessive if someone tries to take them away from her or hurt them. And I guess that the two humans came from a village that the barbarian attacked and she took them, although they were scared of her at first (from all the stories they've heard about the barbarians) they slowly get used to her and start to need her to get protection and food, kind of the stockholm syndrome. So they feel that it isn't so bad with her anymore.

Well, that was my thoughts and feelings from the picture anyway ^^;
