Hmm... I was just thinking about getting this figure, and I think youre rendition made the scale tip.

I like the beard, gloves and cuffs very much.

Cheers

Jose,

Good stuff. I REALLY like the somewhat subdued colouring and the flat effect. Makes it all look very realistic to me (at least according to my definition of realism )

Hi Jose

I agree with Marvin - the subdued colurs are very effective and do add realism. The facial tones are also very convincing - a sort of old/young look.

Unlike Janne, I had not even considered this piece as it didn't inspire me (unusual for a FPW/Canone subject). However, now I've seen how it can look, I may have to rethink

Excellent work

Regards

Phil

I've only seen the publicity photos of this figure, and I was impressed but your rendering is all the more impressive. Lucky collector to have this in their collection.

Excellent skin tones. I really love them. Also the color of the uniform is presented nicely.

thanks for all,I`m so glad...the figure is a real masterpiece and a wonderfull study in anatomy,the original for the art-box is absolutely a little gem from the hands of my friend Pepe Gallardo,and was my inspiration for this work;however,the pictures doesn`t shows the real thing!.And is a Cannone,friends!.Jose.

Jose,

I echo all the above, simply outstanding! Could you please give us some info on how you painted the dark blue?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Jose. That is awesome work. I know how good this figure is because I too painted it for a collector. lucky for me I still have it in my possession because I want to take it to Boston. Then I will have to part with it. Again , great stuff

Yes,of corse;the first coat with a 70% of prussian blue (andrea colors),20% napoleonic green and 10% flat black (vallejo model color).The initial highligts with a touch of turquoise,then received sunny skintone and brown sand;the shadows (five o`clock as the lights) with a wash of pure flat black and flat earth 70-30%;the final touch is a controlled wash in violets and earth tones,and bordering black lines around buttons,cuffs,seams,etc.thanks for your attention.Jose.

Hi Jose

I believe this figure could be based on a character from the Alfonse de Neuville drawing of the battle of Le Bourget. If anyone knows the picture, this could well be the Prussian officer in centre front with his back to the viewer.

Mr Cannone's FPW pieces really bring de Neuville into three dimensions.

Thanks for posting the pictures - your collector is a fortunate man
