Hi all,
I like you to show my Thraex Gladiator which I am painting for the moment. The whole figure has received its undercoat in acryl paints, just waiting for the oils.
I deliberately choose dark colours to offer a little bit of a change because most of the time gladiators are painted in a dashing colour scheme. The only contrasts will be the white striping on the loin cloth and the egaly white feathers on both sides of his helmet (not shown). Maybe I will stage him with a Retiarius which will be painted in more brighter colours to create a contrast between the two figures.
I hope the photos are good because this is my first try to incorporate photos made with my recently purchased digital camera (yes there are still digital rookies!).
When everything goes fine I will post every step in the painting proces.
Cheers
Johan
