the casualty toll

[ischa]

would love some comments and critics=)

this is my first attempt at a historical mini, real pleasure painting this one. i know my style of painting doesn't really lend itself well to historical realistic painting, but as long as you like your own stuff, right? tried going for heavy saturated colors with loads of wear and tear to the fabrics. mainly used stipling and scratches all over, along with some heavy highlights.

No complaints from me on this, although its not the "classic historical" style it has a certain something about it.
Good handling of the sculpture as well.
Did the vote thingy.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I love the "style" and see no reason why historical minis shouldn't be dealt with in this manner. I hop to see you do more of them.
