Two murals ready. They will of course be toned down and weathered as I mount them.

I've scale them down to roughly natural size.The colors are to bright so I will give them a light spray of grey before I proceed.

Another thing, which I am quite happy with but am not sure came out very well in the LPL entry, is that each god has a copper verdigris attribute. I may have been a bit heavy handed with the hilights, making them blend a little too much with the sandstone. I was contemplating gold but figured that would have been looted long ago.



If any one is interested:

The Maidens virtue is guarded by a copper dragon.
The Mother cradles a copper babe in her arms.
The Father holds the copper scales of justice.
The Smith rests his hand on the handle of a copper hammer.
The Strangers face is a mask of copper.
The Crone holds her copper lantern.
The Knight is off talking to a man about a dog. I assume he carries a copper sword.

What is the source of the statues themselves?

No, just four. Two walls are completely demolished, and there's the door. Two of the frescoes will only be partials, since they are not completely intact.

I realise the may be a bit too brightly coloured but I hope to amend that with weathering once they fastened on their walls.
