Morning Brian

Superb. This is oils? I remember looking at your stuff and thinking "how does he get oils to look like that?" The mail effect is very convincing too.

Good stuff!


Best regards

Hi Phil
I paint my faces with oils the same way as someone who paints with enamels or acrylics mostly wet on dry and just building it up layer by layer .A lot slower than other mediums but i can only work with oils

Hi Brian

Another blinding figure, especially the mail. What scale ?

Hi Dave
The scale is 54mm

Brian, I agree with everyone else. That is one very nice looking figure . The lighting helps set the "mood" of the figure actually. Dark and forboding. Excellent work on the mail and your flesh tones only set the whole piece off. If you did this Robert The Bruce, you need to get Andrea's 70mm figure. Not the most accurate (or so they say) but it's one gorgeous piece of metal. Looking forward to what rolls off your desk next.

Ah...yet someone else that paints much, much better than me. Alas...

Really a beautiful painting. The face is just unreal. I'm looking at it and I still don't believe it. 54mm yet!!!

all the best,
Dan

Beautiful work Brian.......whats next on your workbench?

 

[brian]

Hi Guy
Good question as i don't really know what to do next.I may start Andreas Mounted Cortes a beautiful little figure i.e. a true 54mm or i 'm thinking of maybe buying Andreas 70mm Robert the Bruce after reading Jim's suggestion.Only thing is i would have to grovel to the wife again

I don't see how the figure can look any better "in the flesh." This is a beautiful job, period...love the look in the eyes.\

Hi Roy
I've just had a look at your web site and your work is superb.I especially like the female's face as i've not seen too many convincing faces of women but your one is exceptional The hair is spot on too.
