Sam,
Great start, but i should consider the purple look of the underchin. Mabye for the look another brush stroke with your basic skintone and then shading and highlighting again. I don't like that purple color.
Again: I don't like that purple color.........
That marble: well it is to much the same pattern. But i can't do it better. If you have the book off Danielo Cartacci, he explains it very good.

Great start,the marble looks cool for me
Hi Marc,
I arranged the purple under the chin thx for the tip mate
About the marble: it is based on Danilo's book but not executed like he did it but I tried my best to try to do it slightly to look like it. The only concern I have drooling in my mind is the colour of the veins i'm sure someone that knows napoleonic times will post here to help
Will post more pics tomorrow cause I am to knackered to shoot pics. In Malta here it is 11pm so I am quite sleeping on the keyboard
Gummisheep thanks 4 your comments as well
Warm Regards,
Samwel Vella

Hi Sam,
I hope you had a good sleep.
I'd prefer to see the marble floor slightly offset, rather than in straight lines which are square and parallel to the base. If its too late to change, that's cool, but if not, I think it would make a real difference.
Cheers

Very good work Sam.
Tip: paint a few layers ( 5 - 6 or more) clear, satin varnish mixed with a touch of white oilpaint over the marble. You will see that it will shine like real.
All the best

The red uniform looks a good start but I do not like the marble, I would rather put a patern of black and white marble to create more contrast, apart that marble colour should be 'cold' - the veins are very paterned and almost symetrical. Aak your pops as surely he knows there is an old technique in furniture painting about marble effect with sponging and the rest, he surely can help you out, base is also too geometrical and structured, needs a piece of furniture or a carpet at an angle to give some perspective ... IMO I get rid of the red marble ... but good start mate!
