Description
Hi everyone,
As promised, here is another leader character I painted for Dark Ages; Rollo, Duke of Normandy.
Before Rollo became duke, he was a viking warlord who raided the Franks, until he received land from emperor Charles the Simple, where he would defend Frankia against his former allies. His descendant would be William the Conqueror and king of the Normans.
Any Vikings watchers anyone? How do you think they portrayed Rollo?
Looking forward to any thoughts you might have about the piece!
Best,
JCH

Fun fact: according to some family research, he's one of my ancestors.

Have you had a genetic test? I was told that I had some Chinese Heritage but that turned out not to be true.

No genetic test, but a very sedentary branch of the family that seemed to indicate a very high probability!

One of my cousins works in Archives. She had access to a lot of documentation and made genealogical research that strongly indicated it might be the case.

The attention to detail is marvellous! I bet the plating/chainmail took a while, but it was totally worth it. Liking the dramatic lighting, too. Great piece, and one for the portfolio; you earned your fee, brother.
