Quote:Arches sucks water like nobody's business. I might try it again with liquid acrylics, but for watercolour, I don't get good results with it. I swear by Montval.
Do you mean the paper or the board? The boards seem not to be the same as their paper equivalents within one branch, which makes it more complicate to find the best ground for one's work.
here is a review by Paul Jackson of the Montval and Arches boards compared to the papers.


Quote:I think oils is little bit hard and annoying to work with,especially for beginners.But watercolors can be also very annoying and needs a lot of vigilance.
I think oils are a perfect medium to paint with - even for beginners - because you have time to paint around until the result suits you, if not you can brush away the colour easily and start again. Watercolours are more difficult because you always have to know exactly what you're doing and corrections are nearly impossible. That's why I have the greatest respect of artists using them.

Awesome work!

I'm going to be working with acrylic paints in Art Class soon, so maybe the helmets I'm painting will turn out good Tongue

Hi Andreas,

Quote:Late Roman Tribune
See the discussion here

Great drawing. But as I've argued in the discussion, this man looks like a common late Roman federate soldier and not like a late Roman tribune. While under some very exceptional circumsatnces a tribune might do away with all his armour or other badges of honour that would make him recognisable as an officer, the common late Roman tribune would not look like this.

Very nice but PLEASE tell me what are these "whiskers" on the front of the helmet bowl? Is there any evidence on these? I have seen them on several illustrations and I am beginning to have problems with sleep because of them :x ...

Anyone seen the awesome site 'Darkness over Cannae'? Site of a graphic novel in progress, by the very talented Jenny Dolfen...

Take a look here: http://www.romanarmytalk.com/17-roman-military-history-a-archaeology/321909-cornuti-or-not.html?limitstart=0&start=45 or to Late Roman Tribune debate(link is given here in post by Decebalus) to see deatails about this controversial kind of helmet.

Thanks Pavel! Anyway not enough evidence in my opinion to support the authenticity of these "whiskers" on late roman helmets.

Indeed its too inconclusive.On the other hand I can't exclude such "horned" possibility completely.

EDIT: in fact I created my own version where possible horns are interpreted as pair of feathers.
