Napoleon from Alexandros Miniatures

[megroot]

Well, the glue is still wet I could not wait to show this. Its a bust from Alexandros Miniatures and as always painted with oils and printers inkt. This bust is awesome. Just a few moldblocks, almost no cleaning. A great bust to have some really great houres with.
The paint looks glossy, but that is coursed by the photolights. Believe me, it is as matt as could be, because I sprayed the grey coat ( whas shiny) with dullcoat. And it isMATT.

Every comment good or bad is welcome so I can improve my painting skills.

Hello Marc,
Your Napoleon is fantastic, the face is great i like the eyes and that arrogant look!
Every detail is well painted!
And as you mentioned the paint is still fresh so everything needs time... but lets remember that isn't the
light that cursed you but the "curse of the centurion" that will follow you a long time...
Excellent work Marc.
Congratulations!!!

The face is very intense, and quite an eye catcher.

Top work Marc. The slight forward tilt of the head works brilliantly particularly as you've nailed Naps stare from under lowered eyelids.
Excellent

It's a lovely piece of work Marc,I like the way you've handled the bicorne as well

 

[Babelfish]

Nice job Marc, I especially like the face. Agree with Brian about the bicorne. Nice texture on it.

Hi Marc,

great looking bust you've painted there. Only thing I find a bit awkward is that there is no contrast at the back of his grey coat. I know the paint is still wet but normally some contrast get lost during the drying process some you might get even lesst contrast. Remember that the back of a figure is just as important as the front.

Take care and I hope to see it in the flesh soon,

Gino

Thanks Guys.

@ Gino: The back has the same contrast as the front. It's the picture that is tricking you

Agree with all the positive comments ---lovely piece, Marc. I really like the base/stand, too; sets this great bust off beautifully.

Very nice, particularly the flesh.
At first I didn't like the forward-leaning pose, but on second look it is working well.
