Secutor

Hello Guys

I'm presenting to you my latest work.

The model is an old piece by Pegaso Models in 54mm scale.
This piece was sculpted by Andrea Jula and the boxart (image below) was painted by Danilo Cartacci

Here the link where you can find it:
http://www.pegasomodels.it/productdetails_it.asp?id=108

For painting, I start with a acrylic base sprayed with airbrush, I usually use 3 layers of color.
The first base is matt black with a tip of military green.
For the second layer I use an average flesh tone, as the main color use an Allegro's color (showed on image below) to which I add a touch of khaki.

The final step is a slight veiling of Maimeri white to highlight the maximum light points.

For this piece I chose to use a particular technique, using Pelikan inks to color and to saturate the various parts and then to rise light and shade I use acrylic paints and pigments.

I chose to use warm colors to give you an idea of the gladiator exposed to the arena sun, the sand was painted with a pigment "terra ombra di cipro naturale" by adding the lights with a color "antique ivory" acrylic and shadows with an "sepia" ink.

Last note, for the shield I chose a sketch of typical secutor sign, the scorpion.

I hope that the model you like, here are the pictures...

I put also the link on Cmon if you want support us, voting and commenting it. Secutor on CMON

Thanks

Event: Un mondo in miniatura 2013 - The night before..

Hello Guys ..

I'm writing from the Fabio "Raysorg" Cornaz's house at Verrayes in Val d'Aosta, I have to say that without him it would not be possible to join this event.

For now what you'll need to know about him is that in his spare time he enjoys sculpting something bizarre and psychedelic, fruit of his ideas.

In the near future, for sure we will have the chance to do an interview with this "non più giovine" sculpturer by Val d'Aosta.

So, back to us..

As our good habit before a contest, we spent a sleepless night to work, chat and drink homemade brandy, that we common call "Grappine" (I think it's a typical homemade drinks by Valle d'Aosta guys)

Time on the pic speaks for itself.

And while Ray was standing in front of the lamp in the company of his demons..

I was sitting at the table of the kitchen in company of mine ones..

And finally ready for departing to Faenza for "a world in miniature."

Here there are the pieces that we will take with us, my pieces:

And pieces sculpted by Ray.

See Ya in the next post, with updating about the contest.

Stay tuned!!

Captain-Deacon Zaitseva

Hello Painters!
Today I will talk about my latest work.
I painted this miniature for the winter online contest by Smart Max: Brrr... it's Smart Max's Winter Painting Contest!

The sculpture of this piece is great, the printing resin doesn't show any faults and the mounting operation was fast.
Usually when I face a new piece as a first step I think how to set the ambience and in this case I thought that best setting was a "battlefield" even if foregone.. I wanted the scene to be easy to understand
So I added on the back a can of fuel with bullet holes and a helmet on the ground to make the scene more dramatic.
Generally for painting, I used warm colors on almost all surface of the model, I only included cold colour glazes in the shadows to make them deeper and to increase the contrast.
The most fun parts to be painted are definitely the face and the lower part of the body
For the jacket I chose a army green tone not too bright just because I didn't want to shift attention by the face.
For the pants I chose a neutral tone and I worked a lot on volumes and contrasts to emphasize the really good sculpture.
Finally I used a bright red for the hair to attract attention to the head as much as possible!
For the ambience I used a variety of pigments and oils to make real the ground, this also allows me to work on the contrast Glossy/Matt of surfaces.
I hope you enjoy the piece!
Thank you!
