Very nice piece! Likely on "the list" for me. Interesting note here - I put up a suggestion a few months back of a weapon placed nearly identically to this on a bust I was painting. The over all consensus was that it looked out of place and should not be used due to it looking too much as if it were "floating" because it didn't have a hand/arm to hold it. This doesn't bother me at all, but I wonder if there is any feedback for this piece that will be similar.........hmmmmm.

Interesting for sure Jay... Goes from bust to bust-wedgie (bust with clipped accessories).. or maybe a new term budgie! (bust + wedgie)

Bust

Hi Guys ,
Well bang goes any hope of not buying in 2011 ...thankfully.

I love this , stunning sculpt and painting of course .

Jay ,
You do have a point as sometimes additions seem to "float" but looking at how close the polearm is to the body it looks ok to me

I am sure this is going to figure in many WIP and in comps all around this universe

Good point old friend, I think from first site it would depend on the position of the weapon or standard/pike whatever, standing upright close to the body would assume that it is being cradled or held by the arm - across the body left to right, would be more difficult for the eye to accept as it is seen to be floating, unless there is one hand controlling it. Just some thoughts -----

Brillaint sculpting & Painting !!! Danillo - what a painter !!

 

[megroot]

Allright. Danillo did it again. Awesome paintwork.

Jay, i'm all the way with you. If you look it looks indeed like it is floating against the body. For me personally, i would like to see the hand that is holding the axe.

Must have, love this period of late medieval man at arms, especially as I renect the same period and arms.

PS. to Jay, personally I am not in love with 'floating' arms but the hammer is appropriate as though no arms are showing it is not perched on the arms, apart a simple man at arms with that arms gives him position of what he is, normally 'mezze picche' were associated with veterans, or NCO soldiers ... I think this one really do justice to the piece, thumbs up to the sculptor ...

Excellent sculpture and a fantastic painjob, gents!
Congratulations on the both of you.

Jay: Personly I don't mind that there is no arm seeing, it's a nice addidion to the bust, he could hold it more down, and even so, he is not the first bust where you can not seen any hand, if you look at the Michael Miniatures bust "King Ernest August II" with his bearskin hat, who I have, and it's a magnificent piece also.

[Figure Mad]

its a lovely piece, and has great facial features, but it would be nice to see Danillo paint something without red...... great painter, but it just seems that red is on everything he paints,

Dave,

Maybe you have missed Danillo's latest 90mm mounted crusader by Pegaso, that was an all black hospitaller ... : p

 

[Tecumsea]

Danilo has a wonderful ability to squeeze every sculpted detail out of the face! great sculpt and fabulous painting from the master.
