Roman Legionarius 1st Century A.D

Ave,

the bust from Young Miniatures I recently started is done.
It shows a roman soldier, shortly after a battle or even in the fire of the fight.
Your imagination might choose what fits best for him.
Figure was painted with acrylics. I hope you like him!

Roman Legionarius 1st Century A.D 
Young Miniatures, 200 mm 


So far, keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes
Roman

    As mentioned before, the metal is insane. I would really love to see the bust in real. Would it be a big issue to bring it to one of your workshops ( the one in Aschaffenburg, end of Jan.)?

    Best regards!

    Thats brilliant Roman. Any pointers on how you approach the metallics on a piece of that scale?

    Wow, looks really great. I like the metal and the blood on it - looks really realistic.
    The face looks very tired after the battle ! ;-)

    While viewing this "Roman", I can realize how brutal and dark this time was.
    Fantastic work!
    Always with best regards

    @Dakan
    If I could I would to a tutorial, but I did not do any photos at all from during the progress as this was done in my free holiday time just for the joy ... sorry to say so, but I got another roman bust of a legionary, maybe I am able to do a little article on TMM on big surfaces on that one. If he will follow under my brush soon. Sorry for the bad news.

    @Simon
    Well, I think so too ... turned out much more red than expected ...

    @Chris B.
    I can manage that!

    @Frothing Muppet
    Same as I do as in smaller scale. I started very bright and first used the airbrush on the metals to find my light situation. With the airbrush it is easy to keep control of such big areas. When the basic shadows and colour variations were done I used the brush to work on detail lights and detail shadows, in between I sometimes used the airbrush again to paint a thinned tone/colour/or shadow to some areas and to bring it all together ... this was done very often and I can not exactly remember how often I have done these steps ...

    Thanks for all your comments!
    Carpe diem!

    Thanks a lot for the response Roman!

    The Young Miniatures sculpts are brilliant - I love the Gladiator Mk2 bust.

    I look forward to seeing your next Legionary.
