Excellent and meticulous paintwork.
Particularly like the figure of Philip the Good, but all of them are very nice!!
It is cumbrous to paint well the coat of arms of Burgund (I myself also tried it several times) but you made it very fine!
I also like the presentation of the lion of Brabant (gold lion on black field) and the lion of Zutphen (red lion on silver field) - they are very well rendered.

Yes, very nice.
Late medival heraldy is often very hard to paint, that is rigth. But you done well, Richard.

Thanks for your comments. They pay me for my painful affords. Painting heraldry have put me on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
Again many thanks.

Dear Richard,
it would have been super to have a little bigger Picture just to show all nice details. The picture shouldn´t be smaller than the figure itself.

Hello Jan,
Sorry, it is my best photo. I am not skilled for taking pictures and certainly my camera device is not well for the very close shoot.

I would like to dysplay pictures of an high level. Here some are as good painters as good photographers, such Chritoph, Christian, Jean-Paul, Snagy, Merlino and many others. So I would be interesed in knowing their technique and their materiel they use.

Hi Richard - good evening!
I think that your photo is very good - the problem might be, that you downsized the picture, thus the measures of the photo are so small.
Try to upload the originally made photo without any size-manipulation.
Anyway, your paintwork is outstanding in this theme!!! :D
Best regards-
Sandor

The picture is of a VERY LARGE size (2600x2200 pix), so please download the picture on your computer and inspect it on your screen.
I have saved each character from this picture with a size larger than 600x900 which is more than enough to see all details on a (very) large screen !!!
