Alexander the Great

[Theodoros]

Alexander's the Great by ALEXANDROS MODELS. An absolutely amazing bust, sculpted by Adriano Laruccia.

The bust is painted with artistic oils over enamels.
I preferred not to paint him as blondy as the Hollywood movies suggested. I tried also to keep his face without deep flesh tones, because his was a young man just 18-20 years old. Evenmore, to enchance the color diversity I have chosen a dark blue cuirass instead of a typical grey-olive green one, with a light violet tunic as the Macedon aristocracy of the time used to wear.
Thanks for your watching this topic. Any comment is very welcome!

Very, very nice, and good call on the hair. Just an FYI, AtG had 2 different color eyes, one brown and one variously describes as gray, green (hazel?) or blue, if thats something you would be interested in portraying.

Dear Jason, thanks a lot for your comment. I thought a bust with different iris colours, would look a little bit ugly or strange for my taste . So, I decided to paint them as light brown, a mediterranean-like colour.

Excellent face and very impressive representation of the different materials.
