Even so removed but your post deserves a reply . We do not know why we just love these pieces so well this time, probably it in a minor way. The small details. The Premier League is very high now, and the best ones creating amazing things, and not a few. But sometimes, just someone from the group's most talented sculptors create something better than others. Once one, second that. For us, particular Templar and Landsknecht from Kostas are such pieces that stand out, even if not by much.. Maybe he also played a role popular historical epoch for us, who knows? We are only human, and acts on us different things to different. There are other great pieces, of course. And we constantly marvel how far you can go in this field .

All the Best

Absolutely amazing piece. We know that it's already much older thread, but we had to pay tribute to this figure. It's a great job. Anatomy, attitude dynamics, cloth drapery, details, subtlety and realism design. It is a pleasure to see such a figure. And it is not possible to not admire. Absolute top sculptural mastery. Fully charging us for further work. Incredible and amazing!

I totally agree. Wow. This is a beautiful figure. Borek

Apparently you are very impressive.
As I wrote before, and with all due respect, I do not understand why this work caused so many amazing reply??? even in 2006, there are plenty of works better than this IMHO but I understand, tastes are tastes.

Fascinating. Kostas must be one of those extremely gifted and talented artist in the hobby. I wish we could see some commercial releases from him..

In fact there are quite a few absolutely fantastic gifted sculptors that never appear on PF, but tend to post on Facebook, yet each of their work is capable of giving you a stroke.
I am wondering if facebook offers this bickering-free environment that people prefer to endless wars on public forums re accuracy/veracity....thought to consider

 

[pmfs]

Facebook is "bonfire" of vanities which can be closed environment.
PF is a OPEN democratic forum, no one is more. Saying something about what you think, even if a negative criticism or a opposite point of view is not war, for me is freedom of speech...

Pedro, I wasn't actually aiming that at you - it was aside of the discussion. All I am saying that there are absolutely amazing works out there that never appear on PF, I was surprised, as previously I thought PF was this Mega Hub for hobby and everyone was on it.
Now it is clear to me, that some people avoid PF - and I am curious what may be the reason.

Lol I agree and I avoid it like plague. When I was a kid, we had our own social networking - it was called " Outdoors"....

But that wasn't the point.

Dimitry, I know mate.
PF have some of the great sculptors and figure painters around....
There are other aspect, every day I see here after making the log in hundreds of guests seeing this forum anonymously perhaps many of them are part of that number....

I know what you mean.
But it's still the Devil's work.

In terms of deliberately avoiding it (as opposed to just not knowing about it) same reasons anyone avoids any forum - not your scene, don't like it/the owner(s)/the crowd, time pressures only allow you one forum and it's a different one, or simply that they prefer somewhere else. And there is lots of competition out there, three or four good figure-related sites on the Continent and there could well be more in other languages (pretty sure there's at least one in Russian for example, saw a link to it here once).
