Hola Massimo,
this bust didn´t catch me at first when it came out, but your version is very beautiful. It made me change my mind and wanna paint it by my self too.
The effect on the metals is surprisingly effective, it brings more contrasts to it when just the "wash and highlighting technique". It will be even more effective on the smaller figures, so I guess. The metal done this way evocates the impression of a heavy, worn armour. Massimo, where did you get printers ink?
The face on this bust is also beautifuly painted, I like realy hard lights and shadows on it. The crest is very nice too with a fine contrasts. Overall another masterpiece from a big artist.
best regards,
R.L.

...thank you guys!! Your words makes me really happy!
About printer's ink...in Italy we can find it from some sellers (I bought mine from Pivato Bases). I think you can ask also to Marco Ganghini (Bestsoldiers).

Massimo

Hi Massimo!
A feast for the eyes! This bust is painted wonderfull realistic and beautiful - I congratulate you heartily about this!
But ...:
It is not a centurion.
I would say is a "hermaphrodite".
The so-called "Imperial Gallic helmet" has the horsehair bush of a superior officer (Tribunu or Legatus).
To this horsehair bush, but the helmet does not fit, because senior officers usually wore the so called "Attic helmet.
The "imperial gallic helmet" was worn by ordinary soldiers and NCO's.
For a centurion this helmet would fit, but when the hair bush was always at odds over the helmet, so they were easily recognizable in combat.
At a centurion would then also the lamellar armor ("lorica segmantata") match.
Unfortunately, the researcher has made no precise figure for this work.
To get a real historic bust, it would be necessary, to change the roos-hair-bush on the helmet.
This should not reduce in any case your art of painting!
