Completed Critique Charles d'Anjou King Jerusalem 1271-1272 (Young Bust)

[sarouman]

Hi guys!
After the summer holidays I finished a bust of the firm Young Models, of course I chose to paint the colors of Charles d'Anjou King Jerusalem 1271 - 1272 and not the colors of the Teutonic who gave the boxart!
Hope you like it and expect your comments and which are they!

About the history:
9th Crusade
March 1267, Louis IX, king of France, died from epedimic in Tunis during the 8th crusade. Most of the army went back to France. But some crusaders decided to rally Edward, future king of England, who had just come, and to follow him to Holyland.

Thanks
Alexandros

Agreed. I envy your skill with heraldry. Really nice and full of detail, the shred in the shield, tha chain mail and the tones of the hair.
Cheers.

Hi guys again,
With your comments you really happy!
Chris is right about the beard, but looking at the model closely I see this so strongly that easy comment, actually it's the sheen of oil and wach I do however thank you for the observation

Thanks

Excellent painting my friend. I especially like the flesh and the leathers. The heraldy is amazing but that is your trademark!!!
