Completed Critique Young's Teutonic Knight Bust

[Andrew Craft]

Hi guys,
I'm sure your all sick of this guy by now but I think he's done. He was always going to be different from the box art and painted as more of a fictitious hero type character. He is all done in acrylics and I tried to keep all the shadows and highlights quite subtle but still noticeable. The heraldry was tricky as I've only done it once before. Hope you all enjoy it and as always feel free to critique.

Thanks
Andrew.

Very nice Andrew, great work on the heraldry and the colours.

Great result Andrew.
You've accomplished some great detail on the motiff.
Love the shield,
If I was to make any criticism it would be that the chest motiff looks a bit more like a chook than a stag.
But that could just be my take on it.
If you compare the stags horn on the shield to the chest one there are some differences.
Still, just a minor point, well done.

Andrew you did a fantastic job! And I agree, that shield is really cool!

I think more contrast in the face is in order. But that heraldry! That is beautiful, and the mail is well done also. How I admire people who can do designs on cloth so well.--

I have to agree, and perhaps a bit of contrast on the cape.
Still a great job,
Carl.

Looks good.
But I think we need more contrast on the face that even now you can put in a very diluted wash ie color in shades of red purple OF CAPE giving life to Knight
