[Sadziu]

Hi guys and gals

I'm a new here so I tought that , I'll start with those 3 busts. Please be gentle I'm mainly fantasy painter so when I touch historical stuff it has a little bit fantasy touch

WOW - what an arrival!

Your work is magnificent and the faces are especially (very) impressive.

Welcome aboard and I look forward to seeing your future work.

Stunning work, congratulations

Outstanding works, kudos! In my opinion, NMM is not suitable for the historical miniatures and I only use TMM. My adivice is to switch to TMM using, for example, the Vallejo metal colors

I don't see any problem with adding a fantasy touch to historical busts. We all have our own styles and these examples look fantastic to me.
Well done.

Actually I have one more bust commissined so I'll do my best to post wips.Just give me time to get the ropes I have to admit , I have not used any forum for a s***load of time
Thanks everyone for a warm welcome.
I'm a huge well made TMM fan but those pieces were commissioned in nmm, secondly harsh truth is nmm sells better over internets .But I have one personal bust I want to do in TMM.
I don't want to spam with load of threads so I think I'll give you little bit more of my older work here.

Excellent painting in your own style which will probably become instantly recognizable with each new subject that you show us, this is a nice place to be as many of the top painters and lots of the regular PF members carry this accolade, I myself prefer the more realistic battlefield weathered appearance on figures and busts but that just comes down to personal taste and your brushwork has resulted in beautifully finished pieces.

Great work, you are clearly a very talented painter, well done!

This is very interesting. Painting trends are being influenced by the "style" that collectors want. Nothing wrong with that, it's the way of the world. And the way finished pieces look when painted and posted on the internet clearly has an impact, I imagine a lot of buying/commissioning probably happens online rather than at shows these days.

What are these "fantasy touches" of which you speak?

 

[Bundook]

...historical miniatures...

But none of those miniatures are historical (only the figure charging drawing a sword is - and that only arguably so).
