Hi all,
This is my latest completion, it's the Viking bust from Castle miniatures. I haven't put as much shadow into the cape as I should have but I'm relatively pleased with the rest of the painting. As always it's all painted in acrylics. Comments and critique are always welcome and thanks for looking.
Andrew.

Very lifelike fantastic tones Andrew

Splendida pittura: Thumb:: Thumb:

Very nice work Andrew,
I chose almost the same colour scheme for my own version.
Well done indeed.

Excellent paintwork!

Not so an colourful version as I have sometimes before of that bust, but I like you version. The face ist great

Ulrich

I think he's great, Andrew, just as these guys probably looked. I doubt they had much fabric color choices back then
Mary

awesome work sir.

This looks good Andrew, nice to see this sort of thing done with colours that were more likely in the period. Face looks great.

If I can judge properly from the photos I think the shadowing is fine (dark enough for the scale and the way it's sculpted), it's the highlights that need to be looked at. A touch more highlighting would really lift it I think.

Outstanding work Andrew.
Hope mine turns as good as yours....but I have my doubts.

Great job Andrew, I do liked the colours you applied...

Missed this one Andy.
Maybe some black wash on the chainmail would help give it some depth?
I agree with you on the cape, some more contrast would look great.
Those eyes look superb, the fur is also extremely well done and I like the ruddy complextion.
Your progress for painting is remarkable.

Very nice andrew,i like the muted colours you chose for the clothing and lovely work on the eyes,they are very striking

Brian

Great face Andrew ,I think your best to date.I think I would do a bit more work on the cape.


Cheers David
