Finished bust of Knight 13 - 14 Century was my first historic mini. Cesnak did great job on the sculpt, so it was fun to paint it. Check CMON to see more final photos: http://www.coolminiornot.com/336385

Not that much to say, very nice job, and for the first time, you managed to have skin tone that is realistic.

To be honest I don't like it... it look very ridiculous. Although (as always) technically it is good.

In my opinion your 'comic' or 'fantasy' style of painting doesn't work well with such historical/ more realistic miniatures. I look at it and think about cartoon but the bust itself isn't that way. For me it just doesn't work together. I.e. way too high contrast on the cream is too high and the transitions are too rough.

SEA.MAN: My first idea of this bust was to paint it in 'realistic' style - no comic / cartoon contrasts or colours, no NMM. But the sculptor asked me to paint it in comic style :) so I've tried

Final version of Imperial Guard's specialists - ogryn Manfred von Lefthoffen and two prussian dwarves - all from Scibor (they took third place on HUSSAR 2013, category Unit). These three will be soon accompanied by fourth dwarf and I plan to do dwarvish Napoleon Bonaparte and his guards similar way :)

Whole unit on CMON: http://www.coolminiornot.com/345435.
