Hi Chris ,
Welcome to PF , nice start , and boy does he look cold , the painting on the cheeks had me shivering , like the wear and tear you have done on the coat , look forward to seeing what else you are going to do to this one , nice to see a roughed up paint showing the signs of war .

Keep posting

G'day Bro,

Mate, you've really captured the tired battle-worn "dog face" look to perfection. The little changes and modifications you've made make all the difference. Well doneand let'shope to see more pics of your work on pF in future. See you on Tuesday night.

evening mate,...
think this bloke is going to finish up a very good bust, what works for me, is he looks like a very tied and weather beaten, but alive human and not a nicely painted model, perhaps some wee staining effects, only just a hint off and picking out some loose threads light and dark colour but again only a hint off....take him that extra round brother....

good stuff...Phil.....
