Penultimate one today
I've never painted grey scale, although MartinN's Vietnamese are still engrained on my brain as the best painting I've ever seen. So to say I was intimidated is an understatement. I was tempted to paint a figure normally and photgraph it in black and white.
So I dug around the spares box and found a US Paratrooper (Artizan I think but another lucky bag find). He seemed appropriate as he would have planned to fight at night. The white base puts him at Bastogne
I'm really pleased how this came out. I basically painted it black and then added lighter shades of grey, mainly dry brushed
May do more of these, but not Landsknechts
Scores 5+20 = 25
You're right - it is an Artizan figure. Nicely done on the greyscale, and another 25 points for you.

I do like him
DeleteA decent greyscale figure, Martin. I'm having real problems with this Chamber - maybe you've given me an idea!
ReplyDeleteta, I really like how he came out
DeleteGood entry .... I like your write up about the challenge of painting this. How about a mix and match Challenge for you- zombie Landsknecht in greyscale?
ReplyDeletecheers, I think you may be insane. Keep it up
DeleteNice work Martin and thanks for the very kind words!
ReplyDeleteThank you, the words are well deserved, when ever I talk about the challenge you are part of the conversation
