Chris FitzPatrick sculpted this for the first Visions in Putty show. The theme was gladiators, and he noted that his sculpt was supposed to be both a self-portrait and a commentary on the other sculpts. ;) I didn't convert this miniature, though I based it using some green stuff. I tried to amp the red up, making it as bright as possible. I felt comfortable with a slightly duller white. The flesh is a mix of tones, and the metallics are old GW colors shaded with GW Chestnut Ink. More commentary and another picture are available in the Mini-a-Week section of my site, in week 5.

Awsome job, the only negative i can say is the possition of the thumb...well it is nothing wrong realy...just a normal misconseption about this...the thumb was pointed at one of the sides pointing towards one of the gates in each end =) I know, I know, totaly irelevant to this awsome model but I just could not resist... But as i said, great job...I wanna make reds like that to =(

Thanks! This is one of the minis that resulted from a trip to GD and subsequent practice. Of course, then I discovered sculpting, was encouraged by a certain Danish painter, and took it up over painting. . . . ;)

I really like your paintjob on this guy. The skintone is excellent, the red has so much depth, and the metallics are well shaded and highlighted. Good job :)
