Title: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...
Post by: Dalauppror on 26 May 2012, 01:46:43 PM
...I started to paint this mini about a year ago, but I never got around to finish him of...

at last some pictures of the real badguy in my Kalmar Union War project (http://www.dalauppror.blogspot.se/search/label/Kalmar%20Union%20War)...The Danish King Christian I from the House of Oldenburg.

Of course more pictures at my blog:) (http://dalauppror.blogspot.se/2012/05/king-christian-i-of-denmark.html)

Thanks Richard !

Impressionist indeed, i never realy learned to do the smoth blending and transitions then painting minis, so I puched it in the other direction.  ;D

My aim are fast painting and that the minis will look good on the gaming table, unfortunally they might not always look good on picture...not in to close-up at least... :?

Well, I quite like them. It's a different style. They don't look badly painted, put it that way. They look like they're painted in a particular style, and i like your bold use of bright colour.
Monet doesn't look too clever close up  ;)

As you Richard are a man that realy can get the most out of bright colours I´m most honoured by you comment, I actually use to read your very good painting article from WSS from time to time to get some inspiration  :)

I think my minis might get to dull if I woulden´t use the brightest colours to get good contrast, like the blue I use that are a little TO blue, but in the end it turnout quite well and I like it 8)

Best regards Michael
