Not sure I 'like' him Chris, but it's a very evocative piece of work - well done

Excellent work

Mobo

Nice to see a pale horse for a change.
As I am thinking about doing something similar withmine, can you give some pointers about colour choices and mixes, highlights and shadows?

Very well done and nice colours.
Cheers

Super stuff mate, he's terrified me. The figure that is, not your painting!

Thank you guys he is one of those figures you either like the sculpt or not what drew me was the horse unfortunately photos washed out a lot of the finer works
Landrotten horse was a white raw umber and oxide of chrome green mix over a sand coloured undercoat lots of green brown with crimson washes I tried for a decayed colourings very washed out raw umber I stayed away from straight white or black I tried to give every thing that rotten decayed and ancient feel all the armour on the horse is bronze piercing the skin and him I wanted that warrior of the ages but scare the crap out of you in a dark alley feel

I got one of these figures and although fantasy isn't my subject I thought it would be a nice break from military subjects and would offer the perfect canvas for experimenting with colours and effects that could be applied to my normal stuff at some point, you have come up with a different approach with your version using the light horse and lighter colouring on the figure, almost everyone is temped to go to shades of black so well done for going against the norm. Nice to see him just before Halloween.
TERRY
