Venetian Archer

I've started this I&E 75mm Venetian Archer as I am winding down on a commission piece; it's cast in white metal, and is probably the best cast I&E ever produced. Exquisite detail and attention to detail echos throughout this figure, I believe this was sculpted by Randall Patton, but I may be mistaken. Nonetheless, it's an amazing figure.

He's painted using oils over a black acrylic base; the metal helmet and breastplate are simply buffed out from the white metal casting washed with burnt umber and lamp black. I've highlighted with a touch of silver printers ink to a mix of burnt umber and sepia.

The boots have the oil base color applied, which is burnt umber and lamp black for the dark leather, and mars orange and burnt umber for the light leather at the top of the boots. The pants are painted with a mix of cinnabar green and viridian; I shaded with a touch of lamp black to the base color and highlighted using the base plus a touch of cadmium green light and cadmium yellow. The leather jerkin is painted with a mix of burnt umber and lamp black, and then shaded using lamp black and a touch of purple. Highlights are achieved with mars orange and the highest highlights are achieved with a touch of yellow ochre (thanks Bob!) to the mars orange.

He's a work in progress at this stage...
