Knight Hospitaler Doctor – Mayacast Msterglass Q2 entry
A mini finished last week, but since it was an entry to a contest, it couldn’t be revealed earlier.
The armour is done with oils – deepest shadows are black (tinted with Ultramarine), base colour is cobalt blue and the light is styled on a sunlight on a cool day –which in my eyes looks like white with some chrome yellow (like 5 parts white to 1 yellow). Similarly tabard goes from mixture of cobalt blue through cadmium red to the same cool light (but since it is not so reflective as the armour, light are not so pronounced).
The white cross on his chest is a freehand, while crosses on his pauldrons are self-made decals.
I didn’t expect to win the contest, wince level of some works presented there is usually insane, but this time I was surprised to get a mention (for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/e4tBpNH59BY?t=1923).
There he goes:
His buddies are also ready – waiting for the paint to dry before taking photos.
Beautiful job. Congrats on the mention, the MasterGlass is always such an impressive contest.
Thanks mate! And yes, I consider the mention a big win.
