The first month has passed and I'm still up and running. What started as an easy challenge turned out not so easy. I discovered that the horses and the banners takes more time than predicted. But now I know how to do it in a reasonable amount of time.
I started with three characters not only to practice and get the feel of painting cavalry but also January is is like a tarpit with still a lot of family obligations which absorb valuable painting time ;).
Duke Jean-Baptiste Clicquot (103 points)
Baron Gilles de la Tourette (68 points)
Sir Bertrand de l'Escaut (38 points)
Next month will be two more characters. A BSB and a damsel because Februari is a typical mulligan month.
I like the less decorative approach to the horses, shifts the focus back to the knights.
ReplyDeleteNice skills with the transfers (at least I think they are transfers!). I remember trying to do them and then always ending up a little skew-whiff or wrinkled.
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow and black. Yellow is a hard colour to paint well and you're spot on.
ReplyDeleteAgain, simple but very effective colour scheme. I like it very much 👏
ReplyDeleteExcellent start, great colours- can't wait to see the army grow
ReplyDeleteNicely done sir :)
ReplyDeleteAlso loving the backdrop to the pictures
