@@MarcoFrisoniNJM oh my gosh thank you so much! My focus for a long time was improving on my 3d modeling and terrain skills, so painting took a back seat. I was just doing the old base, drybrush, wash method. But now I'm ready to put my focus on improving my skill in painting. I LOVE your sketch process and how you define volumes, it just seems so much more organic and enjoyable than the standard approach. I'll be spending some time over the next few months trying to learn and improve on those techniques. Thanks so much for all your amazing content, its always so helpful!

One thing I've learned delving into the world of historical models is how different uniforms and colors can be that you don't typically see in fantasy or sci-fi armies/warbands/parties. Because uniforms were manufactured in different places at different times and then sent to outfit a military unit, they often have differences in color and texture. This is especially true for larger conflicts that took years before they ended, such as WWII or the Napoleonic Wars. Even modern wars resulted in a mishmash of equipment (look up pictures of uniforms for Desert Storm or the 6 Day War). It's something I've taken over to my fantasy and sci-fi models, especially with WH40k where things are sourced from all over the galaxy! That being said, I think this model is successful, even with its "fantasy" lighting. It's kind of futile to 100% match historical colors because there are so many things that factor into their appearance.

Samnites were a tribe from modern abruzzo Italy that inspired the Roman gladiator armor it’s really samnite armor with less protection so fights would end it death or dismemberment

Great spoon factor, my dad had some decorative brass and a couple of bronzes on show that he was very fond of. The brasses were (very) regularly polished to keep them gloriously shiny and yet still - or possibly because of this, they had a ton of tiny subtle satiny scratches all over the surface, just like your spoon. I know this well because, growing up, I was regularly volunteered to wax polish them...

Would love a side by side of the before “dotting dotting…” and after. I couldn’t make the connection from everything that took place in between. The airbrushing looked so good I would have stopped there 😬.

@stephenspackman5573 2 жыл бұрын

Very well observed about the scratches in the metal. I polished too much metal as a preacher's kid…. I do find that the use of the airbrush to project shadow rather than light has resulted in what (to my eye) are over-illuminated upward facing crevices. My eye tentatively accepts some of them as tan lines (where they are on skin and not metal, of course), but then they should be matched by variations beneath the lower sides of the straps. It's subtle, of course, but … it's one of those things I can't un-see in a piece that is overall wonderfully realistic. But-it's _very_ nice work overall, and perhaps it's just the way it takes my own eye?

I've meant to say this to you before Marco but not sure if I did: you are a treasure! Your mastery of so many painting techniques and grasp of _proper_ colour theory, along with your ability to explain it all so well in a language that is not your own is amazing and inspiring! Bravo 👏👏👏 Since you asked about the realism, I think the bronze came out spectacularly - it's a difficult material to pull off and this is amongst the best treatments of it I've seen in a large scale (it is so much easier to make convincing at smaller scales). Although extremely well painted I find the skintones more illustrative and stylised than realistic though. FWIW I think a plainer more textbook range of dull scarlets sprayed zenithally work best in scales 1:16 and upwards, and here just some modification to this to incorporate your imagined light source could have been enough to sell the effect, while still leaving the local colour readable.

Looks amazing, but personally would have loved some contrast between the skin and the brass/gold. The skin and the armor are too similar in tone, would have been more pleasing to the eye if there was some difference, maybe a darker more brownish skin, or more pink. As it is the too are too similar, too yellow. Subjective to my opinion and taste.

@electrictrojan6719 2 жыл бұрын

I guess if you wanted to create an illustration of a gladiator in the blazing midday sun then it's a very good colour scheme.

@Tanukilandia 2 жыл бұрын

Thought the same thing, the tones between the metals and skin are very similar, as well as the textures in said armor/skin. Still a beautiful piece though.

@alexandreroma8118 2 жыл бұрын

If you Google image Roman gladiator, there are plenty of real life pictures, and you will notice there is no one with golden skin. To get that skin colour you would need to paint your skin with pigments. That's besides the point anyway, since I said that it was just in my opinion what would be more pleasing to me. I'm more attracted to contrasting colours or schemes then to something that is too similar and just blurs/blends together like this painting. Other people might prefer it the opposite of me.
