Excellent chainmail there Costas. You've really got the hang of it. Pity that we can't see the face. Maybe in your next update

Costas,

This is looking very promise. Really good work on the chainmail.
Can you share your method.
Looking forward to see the face better. He is really looking good.

marc

thanks folks
I use almost everytime different chainmail method , trying to get the best one for me
This one :

Chainmail :
titanium - black paint mix in 2 layers thin enough. Over brush lightly with steel
hihglights with printers ink silver
shadows with burnt umber and black oils , and sweeping them after 1-2 hours .

I hope i helped some

Thanks Costas,

It looks very similar with what i did on the Irish Knight. Instead of titanium + bLack i use black with printers ink.
maybe something to try for your next.
I will try this one from you.

Marc.

Thanks a lot Marc , i ll try that also .
Exchange of knowledge is goooooooooooooooooddddddddd

The face looks fine Costas, shaded appropriately to the sculpting and the colour looks good to me. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
