Hi Phil

What!! ?..makes his debut ......Is he finished

Nap

lol, no - he's in the same state he was in when I originally posted. I was referring to a combination of Wayne's comments in the thread that I posted in the completed forums of the prior bust I did in this series (Ioannis) and debut as in these being the first pics of this new guy...
(I hope that made sense!)

Hey everybody...

Here is a quick update before I go on vacation. I gave him more light/shadow contrast on his face and tweaked a few small things that think added up to give him much more character. Also finished his hair, eyebrows and mustache. Finally the vest is finished. Most of the vest will be hidden by other parts of the model, but it was good practice for the rest of his jacket and cape.

Regards,
Phil
