"A Field of Mud and Blood. Pavia, 1525"

[Fernando Ruiz]

Hi, all!
Here are the pictures of one of my latest works, a dopplesöldner of the Black Legion. This is one of the two versions of the new release by Historicart. The scale is 70mm and it was a real pleasure to paint it:

Some detailed pics:

As I said, this is just one of the 2 boxart paintings. To have a look at the fantastic Jesús' version, check here:

really an outstanding job painting on a really cool figure, the metals are just fantastic. I am becoming a big fan of their new line and have always loved your style of painting.

Well this is wonderful. Great painting. I love the way you painted the face and the metal and... the mudy ground and.... Wow, everything.

Excellent armour effects and realistic muted colours - brilliant figure Frenando!

Thanks for your words, guys!
Keith, you have guessed my intention in the painting process. I have tried to achieve a result more darker and sober than the usual depiction of this troops but equally powerful from an aesthetic point of view. I'm glad that it's noticeable

Really nice painting Fernando!
Quite a different colour scheme than the usual Landsknechts; very appealing.

Cheers,
