Fantastic flesh, I like the leather of the \'belt\' around the chest too.

Looking forward to the rest of this guy, really great work my friend!

awesome paint job.
just of curiousity how did you get the leather on the belt like that?

 

[Orphu]

Thank you for comments
Leather in belt is done following this mix of Model color:
Base=Earth
Lights=Base+White
Shadow=Base+Sepia+Black
All applied like in impresionist art hehe, when the belt was finished y did a wash of sepia very thin.
Excuse my horrible english :cussing:

What a beauty Orphu, great face and beard, i\'ve been wanting to try this sculpt, is the casting good?

 

[Orphu]

Hi
Krom the miniature generally is good but neck and chainmail. The best is the face the rest is normal in my opinion. You must be careful with wrinkles in face and neck because if you apply hard shadows the effect is very rare.

You are all missing the best bit. The jaw dropping thing is just how real the tabard looks. The shading is amazing.

Thanks Orphu, I did see a write up and I thought the same, but that face and tabard are to die for.

Well spotted kester, stunning work, cant wait for those lions, and yes 2 lions are the order of the day I believe.

Hi! after long time in the parking area, im close to finish this dude. Finally i changed the 2 lions idea. Mainly i have to get dirty all (tunic, helm,etc..)
