Nice painting

But as for me ....too much brown (may be Photoshops problem)

i did in purpose, i was trying to give an overall dark brown aspect for the entire paint-figure, brown-chocolate skin colour as well as the cloth and keep the metals and the cape on the same colour level.

Cheers

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the comment. As you noticed I decided to use a different approach on the colours pattern, very chocolate-brown reddish on the overall figure. Many liked others not, also I use no other weapons or accessories on him, no gladius, shield etc.. I my head this Aquilifer is running away from a lost battle somewhere in Dacia...

Cheers

Running away!!! THE EAGLE NEVER RUNS AWAY!! {sm4}{sm4}{sm4}It fights till the end.

The color choice is very appealing and really captures the eye. I could see that figure as part of a vignette with a Legate's tent, in late fall in Dacia- perhaps near a waterfall or small river.

Interesting point...The way I display my Romans 54mm soldiers are ontop of the small piece of wood, I use as base ground, so very easy to create a small dio with other figures.
Thanks for the tip...
