WIP Critique Another 2 busts.

[brian]

I'm working on the ugly Man at Arms and have a fair bit to do yet.His facial hair has caused me a few problems,and this is my third attempt.It's just underpainted at the moment.I've also got the shield to do.
The other wee bust, i painted ages ago,but could never get a decent picture of him.
After i take pictures i always feel deflated ,as they never give a true representation of how they really look.
c'est la vie.

Might get the wee fella a base now.

Very Nice work Brian.

Really nice work Brian love the skintones, and the leatherwork on the second bust. my only quibble might be the hair on the first bust could do with a little more depth.

Yep,i'll be adding more contrasts ,as i've only got the highlights done so far.

Geez "Ugly" is an understatement mate!
Neat progress & in your box seat.
Thought of you when I saw little night watchman with the well "soaked" nose yesterday too ;-)
Gotta be one for your character skills.

Who are you calling ugly?

Great skin tones on both. Love the blue/silver armor on the Man at Arms and the black on the other bust.

Struggling with the same. Photoshop comes to help.
The bust's looks fabulous.

I know what you mean Brian, my figures look really good when I have painted them but in a photo, they look crap, mind you I don't always wear my reading glasses either.
I like the wee fella, excellent painting and yes, I have my reading glasses on.

It's better than the other way round,crap figures and cracking pictures

Why worry about what other people think, when the bottom line is what you think?.....Personally, I think they look good. They won't make you famous....but they look good.

Hi Wayne
I never worry what other people think,but it's nice to get feedback from your peers.I personally think that although i enjoy painting with a passion,my stuff is not what it should be.What do you mean "i'm not famous"? Just ask the other guys who Supersnad is.

 

[Wayneb]

I knew you were famous Brian....I just try to generalize my opinion....Don't worry; your legend is intact...

I was only having a laugh Wayne, as i think i'm more infamous than famous, and more of a leg end than a legend.I know where you're coming from and agree that the basics of our hobby is first and foremost to be pleased with your own stuff.

I know Brian.....sometimes you just have to roll with it....I wish more people would learn to do that...….
