The skin is just right..notwithstanding popular affectations as to how miniatures should look..the more muted effects of transparent oils and your personal style is more in keeping with scale effects and reality

Thank you for your comments....and yes...as you will know by now...I much prefer working with transparent oils....in the main for their subtle rendering of hues and shades.

I agree with Mr. Hopper......Contrast, shadows and the like......It would be boring if we all painted the same way....It all looks great and coming along very well.

Thanks for comment


As said...I am in no way a fan of high contrasts....which...unless handled by a 'master'....can appear almost 'cartoony' in their rendering....and are better suited to acrylics IMHO.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with those flesh tones, in fact the limbs have that essence of being real, not an easy thing to achieve. I look forward to seeing more with the head.
I didn’t realise that the tunic was textured. You’ve done another great job with it, a lovely job on the leathers.

Mark.

Many thanks for comments mate.

The textures on the whole piece are superbly cast...which in itself....makes the painting as much a challenge to hold the detail when painting....as it is fun to paint.
