Etruscan Warrior from EMI

[sonnenteich]

Hello,
the first posting of one of my latest figures. It's from EMI Gladius (54mm)
I painted the figure with Acrylics and Printers Inks. The wall in the background is selfmade and shows a picture from the necropole in the ertruscan town of Tarquina.
It was painted with acrylics, too.

Here's a better photo of the background:

Regards

Frank, maybe the figure on the wall looks a little too fat, but your idea is really original and the implemetation very nice. I like it, and the warrior has the right look. Hope to see more subjects like this.

Looks really nice.
The wall art is pretty concurrent with etruscan style.

Thanks for the friendly comments about my little etruscan.
Luca, you are right, the boy is a little bit too fat.

Frank, your work is a little gem, no matter if the figure looks fat or thin. Ideas, imagination and creativity are much more important than mere technique, as you just showed.
If you like the Etruscan civilization, take a look at the Apollo di Veio web site, another gem about an ancient but never died Deity. It's really hard for me to resist to his smile.
Btw, never heared a more appropiate musical background for a website.
