Alahan mounted standard bearer

[Corpuscle]

Evening all (well it is here).
I\'ve just whacked up some pictures of my latest labour of love (and cold hard cash).

Rackham horsey

I never really liked the Lions of Alahan stuff, until I painted this. It was a joy from start to finish and made me decide to buy some to paint for myself.
All comments are welcome.

And from the start to finish that is one awesome job! Pretty flawless but I have two nitpicks. The red cloth is very nicely excecuted but the final highlight is a bit harsh comparingly (seems so on the photo) It could have used a final sheen on some more places aswell. I think you could also mix in a little bit more yellow to the white in the highlightcolour. And secondly the freehand could have been a bit more interesting and slightly lower down on the banner. I really love the rest! Exquisite work! 9.5 from me!

Very nicely done. I love the way you did the horse in more subdued tones, it helps bring the eye directly to the character. I have some of these in my \"to be painted\" box, may have to bust them out. Thanks for the inspiration!

SWEET! I love the colors. Great work on all the filigree!

These horse sculpts have such great character!

Thanks for all the compliments and comments folks.

@Avelorn, I think the lighting may be what makes the final highlights on the red robes look a bit stark. My photo set up is minimalist and at this time of the year in Manchester good sunlight is pretty scarce. The photo was taken on a window ledge with sunlight from the left and daylight bulb from the right.

Does anyone know how long it takes for a submission to get approved? This went in on Tuesday, has 45 votes and is still pending?

Borg is on vacation! He does all the picture moderating.

Sweet paintjob! One of your best, I\'d say! :flip:

That\'s a wonderful job! I really like the bronze armour and the fact you have kindly supplied the recipe

Bloody beautiful paintjob, i think the red looks just right and the nmm is perfect - very natural colours and lighting.

How did you make the rock on the base? i like it very much.

It is not perfect, but very very close, so 9.5. Great job!

Edit: Scratch the rock question, i just read the description, Thanks!
