That's some stunning Black and grey!

Really striking - but picking the little girl out in bright red makes me think of Don't Look Now.

Sure is; the Schindler's List Coat Effect is also cool.

Post by: Curt on May 25, 2014, 06:20:52 PM: Thanks for the kind words everyone, much appreciated.

This Great War in greyscale project has been an ongoing obsession of mine these past few years. It blunders along in fits and starts but I enjoy working on it when the inspiration hits.

The introduction of select over-saturated colour is always a bit harrowing as it would be easy to overdue it.

Bobbo, great work. Who makes that marvellous golem?

Post by: fergal on May 30, 2014, 02:24:51 PM: I never comment on these things except to ask where the figs are from if I don't recognize them. BUT this is simply stunning work Frank. A true work of art worthy of any art forum. Great work.
