Paris, an apple and some other creatures

[Michael Robert]

Hello,

please find my latest composition, inspired from Greek mythodology.
Main use of Linear-A Amazons which I like but which I cannot really use for any historic purpose.
Well, it is the old and recurring story of an apple causing much havoc…
Wrong choices, love and affection making people blind, stubborn leaders, "go-to-the-bitter-endists" etc.
Well, here the pictures

Nice idea...pretty composition!

Very nice idea. Nice women and nice work on the shields.

Lovely scene. Really nice composition and the shields and bronze helmets look fabulous.

The acres of naked flesh look very natural, no idea how you do that but it's very good.

I think I will have to get some of those Linear-A Amazons they look terrific.

Hello,
thank you for your kind comments. It makes me happy to be able to contribute to the forum.
Yes, the Linear-A Amazons are really nice and work well also with the Dark Studio Amazons.
The skin painting was fun. Paul described somewhere how he creates skin tones mixing white, yellow and Brown shades. Basically that is what I also did. Some clearer grounding and then gradual build up of shades.
Only fly in the ointment - the busts of the Amazons are a bit too - ehh - inflated. I mean they are not wearing push-upper bras, are they? Talking about button counting…

Greetings
Michael

A promising future awaits that traveler ... or perhaps not so much at the hands of the Amazons? Great work, Michael Robert.

Best regards.

Santi.

A really enjoyable little fantasy scene. Those Linear-A figures are very impressive, as of course is your brushwork on them.

Catching up some old posts and I stumbled on this one! Really like the composition and how you painted the figures.
