That old Napo....

[El Tché]

Hi guys,
Long with no posting nor figure work
Here is my last fig. An old Andrea ref. that I disposed as if he was at the end of the day on 18th June 1815. His last hope is gone...

All by acrylics, groundwork with resin/pigments. Map and card from real ones form Internet, printed and put in some cold coffee....

Great depiction of the end of an Empire

Very nice painting, he really looks pissed off.

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

My Emperor looks as though he needs a hug. Great work, I do admire you chaps who can paint flesh so convincingly in acrylics.

Thanks Alan,
You can "play" with acrylics in many ways and you can get a lot of "texture" effects. If wrong, you can repaint over it (it dries in minutes). So, in a nuttshell, maybe acrylics are easier than any other paint : just make tests....

Well done.
