Athanasios Diakos - 200mm Bust Completed

[phil_h]

Hello Everybody...

Here is my latest, YS Masterpieces' bust of Athanasios Diakos, a hero during the Greek War of Independence. This is the 4th in a series of 5 busts from YS that I've decided to do this year and was by far the one I've enjoyed the most painting so far! This guy was just a total blast to paint, and there were no issues that presented themselves while painting - it was pretty smooth sailing the whole way. (Admittedly, the embroidery/braidwork started getting a little tedious by the end though...)

As always, any comments/questions/whatever are welcome!

Regards,
Phil
