WIP Critique Bill Sykes.

[Wings5797]

Good work so far mate!
I had Bill Sykes as played by Robert Newton (?) on the list to do as a bust but not much point to it now
This is a great looking figure!

Hi Pete,
Don't give up on the idea Mate, Newton was a different kettle of fish to Reed.
I really do not like suggesting subjects to sculptors. Here comes the but (or butt) I saw this picture that might spark something off for you?
As you seemed a little may be a double headed bust.......with a beer theme, Guinness and Newton & Ridley. Not that I watch "Corry" and I can't think of a Ridley to make it complete.
Chin up Mate. Cheers,
Keith

Nearly finish. Just have to paint the rat, some touch ups and adjust the weathering.

Top class job Carl I think the background works superbly the way you re-vamped it

Carl that's a superb finish . Excellent painting all round and great work on the backdrop very suitably weathered and a nice touch with the public health poster.
BTW nice work on Bullseye , spot-on mate.

Very well done Carl. What s your mix for the brickwork (and please don't say red)

 

[housecarl]

Thanks once again for commenting.
Captain, the antique red bricks were glued on individually,
then weathered with Mig pigments (city dirt) and oils.
Cheers,
Carl.

I agree.

Fantastic work.

Love the way you've added the Rat to fully use Bullseye's "Pose".
