Elan13 1/12 scale ‘Spear Dane’

Not sure if this should be in fantasy as it does represent a Viking type figure but maybe more ‘Game of Thrones’.

Face started in acrylic but finished in water soluble oils. Shield, and my first crude attempt at freehand, is all acrylic. The torso, shirt etc, all in water soluble oil paint. Really fun piece to paint but I have to admit, this could have been better but really happy with my first attempt at using oils.

Very nice work Graham, far better than I could do.
I must get one to practice on.
Thanks Ian. I need to refine my painting which I hope will come with practice. However, painting at this scale is one of those things that I just could not get the hang of no matter how many videos I watched. Then, it just happened. Like a lightbulb moment. Now I just don’t understand why I found it so daunting.

Very nice, only tiny weeny thing, his pupil's seem to have bleed onto his lower eye lid

It does look that way Steve, there is a very deep undercut on the eye which is a bugger to get to to correct it but I will give it a go one day :thumb2:

Sadly, I have no idea who he is lol. I don’t watch any of these ‘viking’ programs...... The sculpter, Robert Lane, also asked if I intended doing some head tattoos. May need to practice a bit before attempting it.

Thanks for the comments folks :thumb2:

these may help a little ,I think if you find out his name and them google it as cast of viking maybe able to get better pics,:smiling2:
then get his head size,on tracing paper , then draw the design onto,and use carbine paper ,trace it on then ,use a maker pen,
once copy on to high lite it,once dry,from a distance,spray clear over it,let dry then do again,a couple of time,:hugging-face:
hope this helps.:smiling:

Thanks Bob. The Spear and hand are a marmite thing, you love it or hate it. I really like it. Busts by their very nature are a bit abstract. I think this is a clever way of including the spear rather than just having a piece glued to his shoulder.

I guess so, it just reminded me of that scene in the RoboCop remake when they take the exo-suit away. :thinking:
