Lovely muted colours, especially the reds. Very "18thC".

The Major will be chuffed when he sees these beauties!

I agree, the Major will be proud.  :)

They seem so 'alive', as if they are about to step out of the screen.

Thanks very much for commenting.   :)

Experimenting with "light" in the photos.  Is this "better", "worse" or "no difference?"

Variety, my friend.  I just like painting figures.   :D  Next photos will "probably" be Gangsters.  Working on WWII Brits, Gothic Horror at the priming stage, GW Empire being painted...

The "new" one appears to have slightly more "contrast", so I'd say it's marginally better.

I think I prefer the original but on a different monitor maybe I'd have a different answer.

I like the original better! It might be my monitor, but it washes out some of the shading on the face and other makes other details a bit harsh.

A lovely job, mind you.
