Acrylics Alexander the Great

[Edorta]

Hi to all. This one of my latest painted figures, it is a comissioned work for a collector. The figure is from Pegaso models, 75mm, and the sculptor is Andrea Jula. High quality casting, as always.
I hope you like it.

[Bailey]

Lovely work. Painting is excellent. And, as I recall from when I did it, fitting his arm and helmet was quite the pain!

Thank you very much, Mike, Derek, Ben , Marc, Pedro, Theodoros, Pedro, Bailey and Zeno. Thanks to all for take a look.
Bailey, you are right about fitting the helmet and arm. I used a different solution. I attached first, the helmet to the hip using a nail, and then the arm to the shoulder, in the same way. So there is no glue between the arm and helmet, only there is a slight contact.
I left the feathers and crest aside and glued them after.

About the white, I do it mixing pure white, black and ocher, this last color in a minor proportion to avoid a final yellowish tone. Pure white for highligths and a bit of black to the first mixture for shades.
I think I have to improve the texture and transitions. I realised that the close view of the photos betrays a bit the nice impression of having the figure in hand.

Hi, Ben, the base comes with the kit, I only pained it. A square piece of sand, and a slice of stone with egyptian writings.

Looks good Eduardo! Whites are great. For the right arm I would recommend a lit more blending. I think the highlights a little too harsh.

Great work Sir

 

[clrsgt]

Excellent work. The whites are exquisite.

 

[Edorta]

Thanks yoshi, I realised that, and I have given some washes to the transitions for a more soft finish.
Thank you captain and clrsgt.
