Very well done, Joe! Excellent work.
I am curious about how you got the wood tone, care to share your technique?
All the best, my friend

Whether the accuracy of the cross may or may not be questionable, the technique certainly isn't. Like Patrick, I'd appreciate your mix on the shield wood, too.

Hey guys,

Thanks. I will try to remember the way that I painted the wood grain. I can't remember the exact colors but will go back and look at my notes and let you know.

Luca,

The weathering is done in acrylics. I painted the cloak the normal way and then I went back with the base color and added US Earth Tan (I think it is the name) I then just started adding small controlled washes. One thing that I did was to hold the figure upside down, this way the darkest amount is at the bottom and not the other way around. Once I had the figure finished I went back and very, very lightly airbrushed the US Earth color to the base and bottom of the figure. I hope this helps.

Ernest,

I used flat black and basic skin tone for the black. I made it a grayish color and then went up from there with the highs and then down until pure black for the shadows.

Joe
