Ostrogoth

[ubbi]

Hi folks
This is one of my last works in progress , a 54 mm. figure . He is a Goth , for my liking an Ostrogoth of the 6th century AD .
A lot work to do , I basecoated with acrilic and now i've just started with oils. The helmet ( wich is a very good reproduction of the Spangenhelm ) is almost finished , as it is the face just a little bit of shades and highlights, now I'm going to finish the mail and the shield ...
Any suggestion and criticism is welcome

Stefano

Stefano,
It is very hard to make some points. The picture's are to small. Can you give us some larger pictures.

Hi Stefano,

You've made a very good start on this figure. I'd like to see a bit more work on the eyes. They don't look finished to me.

Thank you for your comment Tony, indeed the eyes and all the face still need a lot of work , they are about half-done, I will add eyes outline as i have to shade , highlight and give tone to the face... You know it depends from the own method liking.. when I spend few hours painting a section of the figure i expose to get bored so i change section. I don't know if this happens to you as well ..

Cheers Stefano

Hi Andrea, Thank you for your kind works, I wish to finish this fellow as soon as possible , for my liking there is still a lot of work to do ... and I ' m not so fast as you as painter .. and also I ' m working on other three figures at that moment : A celt in 90mm, an anglo-saxon in 54mm and a viking in 90 mm... unfortunately I have this fault, when I work hours on the same figure I get bored so I have to change subject .... Is it the same with women ?

Best Regards Stefano




P.S. What's going on on your bench now ?
