Avalonian Recruit (World Expo 2008)

[Ritual]

The other miniature I painted specially for World Expo. I looooove this bust! The chainmail is some of the best sculpted I\'ve ever seen and the character of the face is fantastic. Also love the different textures on the various materials. A pure pleasure to paint! Saw quite many versions of this at the Expo.

Yeah, I really like that one! I especially like the areas around the nose and eyes, very natural looking. How big is the sculpt?

4.5cm from the bottom of his top to the tip of his helmet

Beautiful work. You\'ve made a great sculpt outstanding with a great painting.

bah I\'ve seen that face before! That thing is photoshopped from day one..! Gold medal in World Expo? bah! I don\'t know anyone from here who\'s even been to that competition, who knows if it even exists? I\'m calling it all an elaborate hoax!

:innocent:

I just hate how people managed to paint this sculpt brilliantly before I get the chance. This sculpt rocks so hard it almost hurts. What a talented guy!

Thanks everyone! I can definitely recommend this sculpt to anyone, basically. I can\'t really say if it\'s a difficult thing to paint or not, but it\'s just so much fun working on such a characterful face that it doesn\'t feel very difficult, at the very least. I want to paint another one! And that\'s not even two weeks after finishing this one...
