This don't happen often but I'm really impressed by both your technical and freehand technique in this fabulous miniature ainting world we as artists perpetuate into a living entity! Besides all the wonderful work with the freehand ill compliment on something else!! The face in the pilot (aviator) naval bust is well worked!!! The diff tones incorporated I to the face deg gives this piece life outside if just a well painted bust!!! Encore encore encore!!!

Gracias por tus complimentos, aquì en Italia todo el mundo modelistico se refere a la cualidad de las hobras de los Espanyoles en este hobby
Thank you very much BloodASmedium, you are one of those painters that can be called artist. I've followed your works from the shadows, I will try to praise your works more often since I have everything to learn from you all.
Thank you for your compliments for my freehand, I was kinda amazed of how I managed to do it at first. I'm not really amazed of it atm, but as we all painters know, we are the first and more aggressive critics of our own works... But honestly, you can tell from where I started to test my freehand in this piece, from the start to the fulcrum and to the end of the work.
At the start I was too feared to touch anything I managed to get with the first layers, so I left it like it was at the beginning. At some point of the work I lost inspiration and will so I took some weeks break because I didn't know what else to paint. Then I decided to start again with the holy light of the emperor upon me, I found a great image of that imperial skull and decided to test me again and withing some hours I got a nice job... The days later I decided to go balls deep, pass me the term, into the grey knight artworks so I decided to add it to the holy chainsword and to the legs... But as you can see the freehands are not even comparable to the rest... because I wanted to end the job so much I quickly ended everything.
Sorry if these makes not much sense, it was a long journey for my standards... Never again ahahah
As for the minibust I thank you. I tried something different from fantasy, and I hope I will learn more from my mistakes. I'd like to add more colours aswell as more tones. When I'll continue it I will sure keep the thread updated

Its a 75mm model, even though I should be used to so tiny heads it was a whole other story. As you can imagine this is my second attempt to paint a realistic skintone. Gotta find my way

We have some very good "maestros" around in our place, but italians have great masters too and here, on these forums, you'll find some excellent painters/people too!
Anyway I am very far away in skills from all of them... but that's not your case! Your work, or the few I have seen looks excellent to me! Will try to help if I can, or at least will come around to watch your work develop and learn what I can. ^^

Ok, this is the last pic before complication with my girlfriend, before I return to the brushes I fear it will take a little bit more time.
Anyway:
Pietro Caputo, Captain of a Guelphs division during the Battle of Benvento in 1266 between Charles of Anjou and Manfred:

Hello guys.
Sorry if I haven't uploaded anything until now. I actually went through a very bad period. I splitted with my now ex girlfriend and moved out of our home, got back to my parents and... well you know how these things goes.
So today after a 4 month break I just prepared everything and did some painting! What a great feeling !
I wanted to add some stuff to my Imperial Knight that has been sitting in my new empty desk since I moved here. Lack of colors and brushes and everything made me hesitant for a long period but today I took courage and just did some minor changes.
First of all I didnt like how empty was the frontal chestplate compared to all the other plates. So I decided to add some putti holding the paper. I didnt know if I could manage to do them since I have like no skintone but I managed with some crazy mixing some resemblance of skin I went into it:
Secondly I wasnt satisfied, as you suggested me, about the black areas. The skulls coming out of the shadows were too hard to see at all and black was too flat. With the few colours I have I decided to spice the thing a bit. While painting I had a crazy idea you will probably not notice yet since I still need to make more contrast but I'm happy with how its coming. Black areas now are some coal burning in the distant darkness ! ahahahah
Sorry for the bad quality pics but I'm working with what I was able to move

Tengo que hacerlo... despacito despacito!Like a phoenix rising from its ashes... rebuild yourself my painter unknown friend...
This monster mini looks even better than before....oO' !!
I don't remember if I actually updated to the last part but I added quite a few trinkets here and there.
The last additions were done quickly and I dont actually like them but I'll try to fix them now that I have more time, but less tools ahahaha

Well, that's a thing. Seriously, what else is there to say? I agree with what everyone else has said: the free hand is absolutely stunning and has a very 40K vibe to it, it could have been lifted directly from one of their illustrations.
If I did have to critique something it would be the metallics which seem just a tad lifeless and the scroll work on the gun barrel that comes across as a tiny bit flat.
But seriously, amazing freehand.

Thank you !
I hope to do more works aswell, I love so much painting
Thank you for your compliments but thank you even more for your critiques. I will look into the metallics since I dont like them aswell. While for the gun barrell I wanted to do some resemblance of an engraved barrell. I will continue the drawings on it and see how it feels once completed, but firstly I need to rebuy some colours ahahah
