Hello,
I want to share with you the latest bust i ve manage to complete. It s Young's Spartan. A bit fantasy but an amazing piece nonetheless. Any comments and critique are welcomed.

First class Dimitrios.....great paintjob..!!

Hi! Dimitrios.
The amazing fresh tone!
And indeed a facial contrast is wonderful.
I also liked the feel of a material of the mantle very much.
Indeed a perfect work.
I congratulate completion.

Awesome

Absolutely first class painting.
Thanks for letting us see him.

Good God Dimitrios! Your painting keeps getting more and more incredible. So tell me, what does the devil look like?

That is simply awesome.

IMPRESIONANTE, a mi juicio ES LA MEJOR PINTURA DE CARNACIONES QUE JAMÁS HE VISTO.
Enhorabuena , excelente trabajo .

Oooops you strike again Jimmy, just awesome !!!

I think the helmet is absolutely excellent! Would you mind telling us how you did it?

Dimitrios,
Just beautiful,
Cheers

Thank you guys for your kind comments. It s been very fun painting this one and i m glad you like the result.
Mike i m not familiar with the expression "what does the devil look like? " but i take it it refers to the bust, So i have to say that the sculpting of this one is really amazing and everything about it is a joy to paint. I know you have painted one of your own and i think you d agree with me.
Foxyboy the helmet was done starting with a black acrylic undercoat. Then i mixed gold ink with Winsor and Newton Vandyke brown. Applied lights and shadows and blended. Then for deeper shadows i used a mix of Vandyke brown, Pthalo green and Cassel earth with a stippling motion. Last for lights a mix of gold ink and pthalo green was used. Alot of blending and waiting for oils to dry in between!

Superb work as always Dimitrios.


Cheers David

Awesome stuff Dimitrios...

Love the fleshtones especially!

Hi Dimitrios,

In my opinion, this is better than the box art, and considering you painted the box art, that's quite a compliment. I love the way you've made every little muscle and vein pop.

Yes definitely --- very artistic skin tones.

Thanks Dmitrios, I have taken note of the colours, however what shades are Pthalo Green & Cassel earth, perhaps a dark green and earth colour -- sorry to sound complicated but have never heard of these shades.

Hi Dimitri, beautiful painting!!!
