New ARES coming - By Alex Pereira

[slaine]

First of all, let me say that this ARES ROCKS!!! great work Alex. I will go for it!!! And 1/4 I think is the correct size for the Gods.

I'm completely agree with you. I always related Ares as the picture enclosed



Also and important point from my point of view is that Ares was not really appreciate by Gods even Humans and although fierce and warlike, Ares was not invincible, even against mortals.. Reason why some scars maybe it will be interesting.

I'm agree with you, I prefer not to wear horses (I love its design Alex and Arahom) but I agree that looks more like a human (despite that in my picture there are some lions, jajajaj). In ARH we trust

Thanks for sharing the WIP, it is a real pleasure to see how it works.

I like it but it looks too much like Leo to me. Needs something different to distinguish the piece imo.

The statue looks great!...but as a Greek guy i have something to say too...Ares goes definitely with spear, helmet is great,(not only spartans wore that kind of armor and helmet), and about the horses on chest..horse was Poseidon's sacred animal not Are's so it doesn't work...oh and definitely DON'T paint him with red hair and red eyes!!BLACK!...Greek people wanted gods to look like them...

I like this helmet. Maybe because the nose guard is missing that it really stands out. I like the belt and the art is pretty good too.

Picture those two together as a statue

Don't bash the horse, it helped the greeks conquer Troy. jk, i see your point my friend. I was just throwing out the least expensive idea over to arh.

Hello everyone,
the reason for the horses in the armor is that Ares had a chariot with four horses(read here)
Another symbol could also be some vulture.
Not dismiss some vultures eating up some corpse.
Any idea for the base?

Hi Alex, I think you're doing a wonderful job. I was wondering about the scale. It is 1/4, correct?

[Bullvine]

As long as when people look at it they should know right away that this is ARES!!! (The vulture is a great symbol of Ares and should make its way into the sculpt in some form or another)

I think the tip of the spear can be changed and for the base a few dead guys would be nice.

Arahom is doing something really innovative.
It takes into account your tastes and your opinions.
Show you the work in progress as decisions are being taken at all times.
It is not easy to do this.
I hope you have in mind.
With regard to the scale and according to the Poll Results i believe that finally wins the scale 1 / 4.
When we finish all the Olympics will be great at that size.
