Dear Tim thanks for your comments.

Concerning that i consider miniature painting and sculpting a form of art .

That means for me that make the setting of my scene and i almost never just paint a figure on a wooden base, that i have some idea. Maybe influenced from cinema , from my own fantasy or anything .

So this particular scene as i have written again could be easily after a battle or a castle conquer by the crusaders. The rider on the stairs is moving on an external stairway and the 2 others figures are on the yard of the castle os some open space around the building .

The standarbearer is mocing pretty slow as you can see and the movement of the horse is on the other direction of the foot crusader.

The last one is just standing after the battle . My idea was to capture the atmosphere and thats what i tried to do . As i have said before with some people the chemistry works and they get the feeling, with some other people that expext another aesthetic views it just doesnt work .

I guess thats normal and simple. So as the constructor (i dont call my self an artist) i simply must respect and filter all opinions . But to be honest i have been pretty happy with the result , not caring so much for the painting level as for the idea , the atmosphere and the tight setup .


I wish i was able to share with you my way of thinking .

Keep safe

Don't mis-understand me this is a beautiful piece of work.

All I was trying to say is that from the photos, things look a bit of place, but it is a fantastic atmospheric vignette none the less, but I wouldn't be playing fair if all I did was pat you on the back, where's the improvement in that? I would much rather people tell me how they feel about my work tham just say very good.
 
Dear Tim , i think u misunderstood me !!!

I took the time to explain you in details the way i imagined this piece before setting it up . As i told from the start , different people have different views on the kinds of art. So trhere is no wrong or right .

There is only i like it , i like it a lot , or i dont like it ..and the rest . So i was not offended or anything, and the main reason i post my works here is that since i am only a 4 years figure painter i think i have many things to learn , and people;s comments are the best way for this .

Thats the reason i sincerely say thanks for your comments
