WIP Critique Roman Tribune - WIP - Part III

[Johan Kees]

Hi all

Work is dragging on on this one but I have made some progress. The main component is nearing completion now (finally!) but there is still a bit more work to to on the toes, greaves and sandals.

Soon work will start on the helmet plume, the sword and - la pièce de résistence - the shield, for which I have found a nice design.




There are a few more photos to be seen on my blog. Interested? Then click HERE.

Thanks for looking and all comments - good or bad - are welcome.

Cheers

Wonderful painting, Johan. The flesh and leather tones are great, as is the armour.
Look forward to seeing this one finished.

I agree. I like the blue you have chosen for the clothes and your treatmet of metals, gains a lot of volume for the greaves and cuirass.

Hi Johan. Nice piece of work. I'm interested how you did the armor?

 

[Johan Kees]

Orlando, Zeno, Carl, Rob

Many thanks for the comments made.

Rob, the bronze armour was done as follows:

1. Acrylic undercoat with Vallejo's brass (MC70801).
2. Basecoating with slightly thinned raw umber oil paint which is stippled with a stiff haired brush after half an hour. In the process most of the oil paint will be removed again.
3. Applying the highlights with yellow ochre - blending.
4. Applying the first shades with burnt umber - blending.
5. Applying the second highlights with gold - blending.
6. Applying of the deeper shades with burnt umber + a little bit of ivory black - blending.
7. Drying of paint.
8. Applying of extra shades and highlights with glazes of the previous used colours. For the extreem lights I mix a bit of Humbrol's silver with the gold oil paint.
9. Drying of paint (at least a week!).
10. Applying a well thinned finishing coat with Humbrol's satin varnish.

I hope this will be of any help to you.

Cheers

Jhan
