Christos, beautiful painting very neat work.

Cheers Ken

Yes! Clean and smooth Thanks for sharing

Awesome! I finally get to see your work and Im very impressed.

Very fine paint Christos.

Wow, you're on a roll Christos!

Another excellent figure, and it does look Eastern Empire, with the barren groundwork.

Cheers,
Adrian

Christos, very good work. I really like how this figure is painted. However, if you allow me a question. Don´t you think the lion's skin is too light?

Thanks a lot for the comments,
Eduardo the skin is fine, the problem (which I already correcting) is the lions hair they must be more dark and a bit yellowish.
Thanks again,
Christos

Excellent piece of work Christos!

Cheers,
Marcel.

Very fine painting.

I like the natural/un-dyed color look of the tunic. Which is probably a more authentic correct look instead of the red tunics.

Thanks again for the comments guys,

Steve, I have the same opinion about the authenticity of the color clothing that's why I made this choise of color.

Another great figure Christos, have you got any close ups photos.


Cheers David

Christos, what was the pallet that you used for the tunic?

Unfortunately David my camera's lens can't shoot closer and this is a big problem, try a couple of clicks on the photo to make it much wider.

Well Steve I used acrylics to paint the tunic (Valleho), green ochre, buff and burnt umber (but I am not 100% sure).

I can't imagine what it must be like to wear that lionskin rug on your head in the deserts of Syria (or wherever). What's Latin for "heatstroke", I wonder.

The tunic is a good colour for natural linen. There's lots of evidence for linen clothing in the east.

Another beautiful work !!

Great Christos!

Fabulous paintwork
Clean and precise.
