Completed Critique The Warden Of The Tower

[Alex Long]

Just finished off this fantasy piece comprising the 54mm Nocturna Gatekeeper and a converted Andrea Dark Menhom. I scratchbuilt the base and used a PE gate that I found in my 1/35th WWII stash.
A variety of mediums have been used to paint this, mostly Jo Sonja but Vallejo, Citadel and oils have also been used as well as paintbrushes and airbrush. I had a lot of fun doing this.

Thanks for looking.

All comments welcome.

Alex.

I like what you did with Menhom here. He looks cool.
Hopefuly I'll have a chance to see it close at EuroMilitaire:d

Oh Ma gosh, and Whoa Nellie: I love this vignette. And your
photographs are equally outstanding. But what really got my
creative side "pumped" was the rendering of the column;
the choice of colours, the subtle tonalities. Somehow, your approach
to colour choices with that column specifically, IMHO, really ties
the entire composition together. Plus, the vertical part of the
base with Name plate under the flooring, really will make this
little beauty attract a lot of attention. We all know — well, at least in my view
— that on a contest category table, height does indeed attract attention.

Congrats, from the Miami Jayhawk

Excellent composition and staging. Not to mention the great painting and colours. This is very inspirational. Good luck at Euro.
Cheers

Beautifully painted. The gate is perhaps a little 'rococo' for the sword & sorcery genre but generally it's very dramatic. Wish I had half your talent.

Splendid work all around.
