"That Most Martial Man"

Here is the commander of Margaret's mercenaries, the veteran captain Martin Schwartz.  He had done service both in the Burgundian and Imperial armies and was known as a capable and experienced soldier.

This is actually Schwartz's third incarnation, the first two having been repurposed.  I think he looks very German and very imposing.  To add some variety to what is a basically black figure I painted a band of 'text' on his sallet - we see this in some contemporary artwork and also in the equipment of modern re-enactors. I have to confess that the 'text' is just a collection of black lines, since I didn't trust myself to paint real letters tidily.

More to follow soon.
