    Here, a well known figure that I had in stock for a long time....
    The Base is made in Milliput and the painting is all in acrylic and with brush only (I don't use any primer, I paint directly on metal...)
    I have lot of fun on painting this one !
    Thanks for looking, and comments if you want...

    Super brushwork there tattoo (y)! Beautifully done earthy colors on the figure and excellent groundwork. I particularly like the overhang of the stones beneath foot.

    One of the best versions of this figure I have seen. I really like the darker pallet you have used. The groundwork too is excellent and really sets it off.

    I agree with Steve! ... this is one of the best versions of this piece that I have seen! Very well done indeed! .. (y)

    However, I do hope that your 'Non-Use', of primer does not come back to haunt you in several years, with the paint flaking off! As that would be damn shame.

    Regards,

    Lovely work, Marc....he is every inch a fighting man. Like the way you've done the shield; dark, weathered ,and subtle.

    tes photos mettent super bien en valeur la qualité de ta peinture Marc... et je dois dire que ... c'est du super boulot, je n'avais pas remarqué les traces d'usure au niveau manteau sur tes autres photos.

    et ton décor... une vraie tuerie (comme disent les jeuns)

    encore Bravo ! (y)

    Very good painting ! ;)

    Stunning all around but, wow, that is THE BEST leather I have ever seen! Would you be so kind as to explain your method? I am currently working on a piece with a lot of leather and have been puzzling how to achieve a texture like you have done.

    Thank you guys for the very kind comments, Appreciate them... :)
    For leather this can vary from a piece to another....
    In this case, it was very simple: first, a layer of black then drybrush with Citadel Bleached Bone , and then wash with Vallejo ink "Skin Wash" and "Sepia", with a lot of water, and so forth until you are satisfied by the result !
    And, about "no primer" made this for other pieces and and I've never found any problem, but ...
