Good combination,however I believe he should have a full beard. The Celtic men were not clean shaven, unless caught being dishonest, in which case they shaved.This meant they could be ridiculed until the hair grew back,hence the expression Bared faced cheek.

i like the rock mat, too. Maybe, the grass around the right foot could be a little bit higher

Garlor, you are assuming he was 'Celtic'. Most likely, he was a romano-british of some status, fighting the Anglo-Saxons as they slowly took over after 410AD, when the roman army pulled out of Britain. Enough history! Not bad, although a little dirt on the figure (leggings, leather, chain etc.)might add a touch of realism.

Excellent render!

Someone after my own heart. On the subject of facial hair, the Britons of this time (early 6th century) are thought to have sported moustaches, like the Gauls, and not beards. There is far more evidence for him being a battle leader around 500 to 540 than any other period. In the Welsh writings he was never called a king. He also didn't fight the Anglo-Saxon, but other British kingdoms, which the monk Gildas testifies to in his 6th century writings. The Britons had a 40 year peace with the Anglo-Saxons at the time. Thought I recognised that torc! Surprisingly the Britons of this time still wore them as you can read in the 6th/7th century epic British peom Y Gododdin. This same peom is where Arthur was first mentioned. Just one simple line where another British hero is compared to him and it says "but he was not Arthur". Well done.
