LOL!   I have something.  A Herald looks at a Knight conversing with a Lady, the Heraled looks away for 10 minutes and finds them still talking.  The Lady leaves, the Herald motions to the Knight with his index finger across his neck and looking up to heaven.

Or an Elderly Lord conversing with his Son, the future Knight and Heir to his Estate on Courtship and a certain Lady he was conversing a month earlier. Midst the conversation, the Elderly Lord praises his Son's interest in the Lady with the familiar saying: "Your Goat is roasting very nicely."

Do you not understand Pig Latin, Sir William?? Sir Joshua story bears no need for pictoral depiction when the words are so clear. Point of story: Have a piece of goat. It is quite tasty when properly cooked. :P

Well done Sir Edward, and I must say this looks like fun. Once I finish my kit I will join the "club" so to speak.

Fooling around with oil paint portrait effects.  Not entirely sure if the 'frame' adds or takes away from it.

That is a really cool effect. I'm not sure which version is better either. They both look really good.

that is an awesome effect Sir Ian!  I'm kind of squishy about the frame myself, maybe because it is digital, it automatically leads the eye to believe the painting is made that way too?  Man, I need to get some pics up of my kit ASAP.  One, for fear of Sir Wolf nailing me with my "probationary period is up Brother Patricius, here is your BAN!! Ye been warned!!"  ;D and two, so that maybe some of you can play with my pics as well.  All of those tricks turned out awesome, and I do love that oil painting technique.  It doesn't hurt that your kit Sir Ian is top notch to begin with.  I do think though the shading, particularly within the face makes it more a renaissance painting looking back on the 14th century, rather than a 14th century painting.  By the time DaVinci and them showed up paintings did become as nice and detailed as any of today's cameras can make.

In relation to the previous posts earlier about Bieber (now running around shaking the hex off :D) and so forth I bring you these:
