All effects like casted shadows and reflections on the NMM are painted obviously.
If somebody is interested: there are video tutorials of this project in our patreon. also a step by step on the illustrated historical artist magazine
I imagined a successful gladiator, a survivor of many afternoons of glory coming out of the mouth door of the coliseum, with half a body still in shadows and the front gilded by the sun bouncing off the sand. I would look at the public, as Francesco totti had done for years, haughty, proud, aware that the wooden sword would be within reach of his hand ... one last battle in front of him, with the light of the sun bathing him completely and the cry of thousands of voices chanting his name ....

Gracias por hacernos disfrutar a muchos. Tu estilo y la forma de enseñar es la ventana por la que muchos estamos saliendo a volar. La gente que marca tendencias siempre tiene comienzos injustos…Te doy mucho animo por todo lo que has dado por este hobby. Como dice Jero, este es el Kung fu que nos gusta jajaja. A volar maestro.
