Wargods Helen of Troy

[Dr. Kevin Moon III esq.]

Painted this lovely sculpt up for Of Gods and Mortals and Wargods.

"What your face should have launched was a bigger army!"

I can't see that face launching 1000 ships.
Sinking them maybe...

Lovely painting and basing. Great sculpt too, overall.
Have to agree though... Facially she's certainly no classical beauty.

[Malamute]

No, but she does have an ample bosom.

Great painting.

[Furt]

No, but she does have an ample bosom.

My eyes are up here! 

Awesome paint job and great mini, even with a face like a dropped pie.

[Michi]

I really like the way you painted her and see no problem with the face. Lovely miniature and excellent paintjob. Your attention to detail of the base is great too.

The shallow features & narrow nose that is considered beautiful today was not the standard of beauty as recently a 100 years ago. How do we know what was beautiful to Mediteranian peoples 3000 years in the past. Heck even today folks can't agree on what is beautiful. BTW a very lovely paint job on a nice fugure. 

[Denouement]

Great painting.

Or perhaps, the sculptor just isn't very good at modelling feminine faces?

Nice mini.

IMO absolutely NO , Fitz is IMO one of the best sculptors worldwide for feminine miniatures! 
Maybe the head looks a bit out of proportion because of the camera angle. I got the mini too in the painting queue and she looks narrow in the head.

Agis, I will take your word for it 

Steve Saleh, Mark Copplestone and wossisname from Hasslefree are great sculptors of female faces. This doesn't look in the same class to me, but as you say, perhaps it's the camera angle.

[Harry Faversham]

There's a skool of thought that cogitates the Trojan Wars had nothing to do with the gorgeous Helen and was actually about corn. Looking at that fizzog on Menelaus's missus... it's a theory I'm rapidly being drawn to!

Here is a pic of the green:


and some other female greens:




Absolutely top notch IMO!

Is this why the oracles wearing a paper bag on her head?

Great bodies though, and a great paintjob.
