So ladies and gents here are some crummy flip top cell phone pics just to show you my "defender of the Alean temple" my Athenian hoplite from nocturnal models I will be giving some better pics today by my baby girl Janet ng. The sponge was made as per an idea by daid Powell( baily ) great artist and a great human being always willing to give advice that's honest and sincere did I mention I ask him for advice cause he's one of my favorite artists.my top 3 mark lifton ,Darren Latham round it out. He also gave the idea of the sponge at the models foot lying in a small puddle of blood as if someone was cleaning the temple from previous raid ls from enemies when all hell broke loose again. This was my third attempt at freehand as that big round shield was just begging for it. Lucky my twin brother is an ancient world time period collegiate professor and an expert in all this stuff. Thanks joey my kid brother for leading me to the gorgon had. Love ya Lil bro. Ill tales pics then post it.

AND A BIG THANKS TO ALL MY SUPPORTERS WHO VOTED ON CMON AND ON P&P -which with my berserker I've scored my first "gold medal" thanks to ZAB,TER,BAILY,DEMI,CANNY, STAVS ALL OF TOU HAVE MADE PAINTING A HUGE PLEASURE AND EVEN GOT A "gold medal" from the 1 the only "JARHEAD"!!!
I love you all my golden guns your all worth your weight in platinum and diamonds. God bless.

Great looking scene, Blood!

By the way, if you're looking for inspiration on future projects like this (whether for the whole scene, shield designs, etc), do a google search for 'greek pottery' or 'attic pottery.' You see their own images of everything from mythology to daily life. I often go there for shield designs, but you can find a lot of useful info to help inspire your work.

Baily my friend I am soo happy you like this piece I'm trying to do more with my basing as I think the gladiator just didn't have enough I always wanted to know I win a comp on paintin alone but that stuck in my head when you mentioned bang dolls piece with no scenery . So now I'makung it my business to try an attempt what you do and that's making the scenery for any and all minis I do from now on.i firmly appreciate all the help you have given me and openingmy eyes to the wonderful sub category of historical models. Thank you and as I said I owe you a nice tasty dinner at the Vietnam restaurant. So save your appetite next time we meet my friend, mentor , and plain ol stand up guy. Your a wonderful human being.even Janet couldn't stop talking how AMAZINGLY SUPPORTIVE YOU ARE. As a matter if fact that day at Chicago we had to put down our dear companion Toby. She was in years and looked at me and said we need to find baily be ause everything out of his mouth is so positive so we tracked you down and she felt better immediately. True story man. Thank you a bunch.

Nice scene BaM. I think it's great that you are looking at the overall scene and telling a story. I think that's how you can push yourself.
Now this may be the photo, but my only feedback would be the pillar looks a little too beige, I would hope you can look toward a whiter stone or even marble.

Much appreciated but I'm kinda a chicken I've tried some marble in the past and it really sacked it bad..this is also the case with obsidian and other types..stood with a little bit brighter as the column is upright and we'll there is a little less trafficking and what not.thought process was it wouldn't catch as much dirt and grime as it takes on 1) more light and two less traffick..thanks for feedback ing guys better photos on the waay...with a camera instead of a flip top phone.it's the Verizon razor if anybody remembers that.

Yeah, it was terrible timing that you had to deal with the loss of Toby while away from home. I'm glad I could be of help.

Well, winning a gold without scenery would require some really incredible feats. Or, I suppose, just a really cool bust. ;) But seriously, if you've got a full figure, take advantage of even a small base and give the viewer a reason to look closer. It's those little details that turn a well painted piece into something people will still remember after the show. And we're on for some pho next Crystal Brush!

I agree with BFK, while you could do really white columns, this color looks fine to me. And, while the wealthy cities may have had plenty of shiny white marble, others would have made do with whatever stone they could get. This guy is equipped in an older style, close to the time of the Persian war. That's roughly 30-50 years before Athens rose to the height of its power. So more white or beige, it's up to you. In my opinion neither is necessarily right or wrong.
