WIP Critique Bill Sikes

[DEL]

Hello all. Here's a quick look at my most recent piece of work.
It is of course the stunning Bill Sikes figure sculpted and produced last year by Diego Fortes.
Basically this is the front view of the back of the pub scene that Smudger1960 did.
I've gone for a very theatrical type setting with loads of references to early 19th century London scattered about, I'll point these out when I finish tinkering with the paint job and take hopefully much better and more detailed photos over the next few days. Cheers Derek

Wonderful work Del. Its an outstanding piece made into a superb bit of work. The dog wasnt there when I saw it but there are so many stories I didnt miss the dog although I knew it would be added.
Amazing scenes inside behind the windoes, each one telling a story on its own.
Looks very likely to become a Smudgerism!
Superb work Del.
