What a high quality in painting and doing the groundwork: Trampled down tall grass, the cape looks like wool, the leatherwork is so fantastic, the whole figure left one speechless! Great work on a great figure!

What all the other guys said, and I'd like to add the dirty fingernails are a very nice touch. Kudos.

 

[Hardy]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I will definately post images here of Roys Ronin when I start him soon, as you can probably tell Im really keen to get started. Im now in pouring all my efforts into a 54mm i really need to finish.
Also many thanks for your continued interest in my website, today it is very likely to see its 50000 visitor!!

Here is the shield progress, still loads of weathering needed but getting there.

Hi Angus, could you resend your e-mail please.

 

[Hardy]

Here it is again after cleaning up, not too much though. I want this to look like it was painted by a warrior not an artist.

 

[megroot]

Hardy,

This is amazing painting. Great work. I hope i can see it in life at Euro.

Marc

 

[Hardy]

Thanks Marc, yes he and I will be at euro, God willing. Thinking about adding something to the right hand corner as it looks bare, can anybody tell me if dolphins have blow holes? Was thinking about a spout of water.

 

[megroot]

Hardy,

This dolphin is what we called tuimelaar, (Tursiops truncatus). This dolphin has a white belly and a grey top. The hole is a blowhole. But it is not a wale. Because he is not a wale he blows no wather out of the hole. I read that only wales blow water ( if it is not true i do it with permission).
So, i think (because this dolphin is a very social animal0 you paint another behind this one.
Looks wonderfull to me.
