Alex looks great!....but the head look like Wolverine :lol:
anyway I like it A----Lot! :wink:
The Germanic warrior has a few too many romantic/fantasy elements. He is wearing the strange fur-diaper-held-up -with-a-Conan-the-Barbarian-belt beloved of Nineteenth Century German painters but which has no basis in any evidence. And the axe over his shoulder is a 'francisca' throwing axe. The 'francisca' was a small, one-handed throwing weapon, not a massive battle axe.
Very nice paintings. I didn't know that painter, but who has won 2 Gold, 12 Silver and 8 Bronze medals at the Euro Militaire in Folkstone, must be a great one in his metier.

I think I've heard of him before, but yeah, it is VERY nice work.
Don't you think the Alexander looks a bit old?
Yes, he does, but that may also be the sculpture
