A new record! Critique of a figure not even shown!

The figure of the ALH Trooper is indeed sculpted charging with a bayonet.

Ha!

I agree,

Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure what the acrylics pallet was. I kinda just mix paint until I find something works.

Acrylics: My gut tells me is was a mix of Chocolate Brown, Yellow or Brown Ocher with Basic Skin Tone highlight's. Shadows would have been base + German Camo Brown and Black. All Vellejo.

The Oils, Yellow Ocher+Burnt Sienna as the Base, Adding Titanium White for High's; Used Van Dyke Brown and Mars Black for the Shadows. The oils were very thin. Almost the consistency of acrylics. I feel like I have more control with them when they are thin.

Mike
This is outstanding and a very dynamic pose with lots of drama. The colours are to die for and match the setting perfectly.
Well done.
Cheers
