WIP Critique Mil-Mart FF-86 Medieval Knight 1

[mil-mart]

Anytime you need medieval gubbins Ken give us a shout mate. Not that I am going to do another flat though
Steve

Cheers Steve good to know. At least by you saying you're not going to do another flat means you need to finish this one first mate .

 

[Helm]

It's possible Ken and while Rog's help is invaluable and much appreciated I'm finding it's heavy weather to do I can't see me doing the other one
Steve

 

[mil-mart]

Steve no pressure mate, it's a hobby and it's about enjoying what you're doing . I know flats are not everyone's cup of tea but it's good that you're persevering and having a go.

Now get back and finish it.....

Cheers Ken

 

[Helm]

I'll have another dabble probably tomorrow or the W/E

I've defined the edges of the surcoat, around the belt, sword, shield sling etc. and the deepest shadows of the same with Burnt Umber.
The Surcoat has had another coat of Cadmium Red.

 

[Helm]

Looking great Rog Been a real education watching you
Steve

 

[billyturnip]

Cheers Steve, that's most of the colours in now it's a case of adding more depth with light and shade.

Roger.

 

[billyturnip]

Now there is a good base of red the next stage will be to add some shade and lights.

Roger.

A very good tutorial Roger.
Well done both of you, I am sure that I am not the only pF member that is picking up tips left right and centre.
Thank you to you both and keep that chin up Steve you are doing fine.
all the very best,
Keith

 

[billyturnip]

Cheers Keith, the armour and mail will be getting some more attention but I'm waiting for it to be properly dry before going any further. My impatience has mucked up too many figures in the past.

Roger.

 

[Tarracus]

Nooo! bars on the shield are wrong. Always go vertical!



Joking aside, I like it very much, Roger

 

[billyturnip]

Horizontal Gerard. Bryan Fitzalan, Lord of the manor of Bedale.

Thank you very much.

Roger.

 

[billyturnip]

He wasn't much of a footballer though.

Couldn't get them past the vicar. and they're not flat enough, s'pose I could saw them off at the shoulders and give them to Nap.

Church effigies were originally painted weren't they?

Roger.

 

[Helm]

Joking aside Rog I believe some were but not sure how common a practice it was
State of play so far, obviously red is still wet
