Thank you Kev!
Carrebourg crimson as the first wash.

A mixture of blue and red in the deepest places, a mixed base with yellow for lighter glazes. Then another blue wash (drakenhof nightshade), in the recesses.

Little contrast control, with other guns...

And fuegan orange...

Tomorrow I will see what to improve.

Stay safe.

 

[Marcin Morawski]

Red leather and brown ink (vallejo).

Stay safe!

Nice work. Good luck if you are going to freehand the embroidery work on waistcoat. A cracking sculpt from Offo

Michael, your Calvera is top notch! I saw him somewhere in web, now I know it's yours.

Good luck if you are going to freehand the embroidery work on waistcoat.

Just started... Freehand...

What do you think, guys?

 

[Peter Day]

Looking good Marcin. Wonderful colour.

 

[Nap]

Hi Marcin

What do I think ....love the colour combination , leather and the shirt looks great

As for the patterning ......very neat freehand and looks accurate ...don't envy you matching the other side ...but if anyone can you will be able to sort that

The set of busts is good but I do like this one especially

Thank you, for all kind words, really appreciate!
As for the pattern - that's all what I can offer... And, oh, the base on the face is mix of ratskin flesh (or dwarf skin vallejo) and salmon rose, with a little amount of heavy skintone.

...and reikland flesh... as always. Some people say it's doping, but whatever, whatever.

Very fresh, thus glossy.

[Peter Day]

More great work Marcin.

 

[Marcin Morawski]

Thank you, guys!

Some contrast, I need to applicate some wash on beard and hair, it'll be easier to evaluate the effect:

With the hat on. Some scratch needed.

Stay safe!

 

[Marcin Morawski]

Panzergrau with nuln oil on beard, hair etc, more highlights:

Hi M

What a great update on this fellow , really coming together now do like the way the clothing has turned out

Good symmetry on the waistcoat decoration

Thanks for sharing

Look forward to more on this ...especially the headwear

Happy benchtine

[Marcin Morawski]

The only possible position of the eyes. Otherwise the face will look dissimilar or it will look drunk. Offo captured it amazingly.

I still have to correct the shape of the eyebrows, the color of the lips, and arrange the light on his forehead. I also need to improve the inside of the mouth.

Stay safe.

Hi Marcin

Looking at the picture , all the washes/dipping, painting on that flesh really works well , you've said what needs relooking at get that done and bingo

With the flesh done the work on the shirt and waistcoat really comes together even more

Good update

Look forward to more

Happy benchtime

[Marcin Morawski]

Thanks, Kev!
Well, I think this part is done. I added lashes, thinned eyebrows, additional highlights.

 

[Nap]

Hi Marcin

I think this part is done as well ...looks really good ......nice additional highs you've done ......probably my favourite one so far

Like the gold teeth ...I would try and define them a little more around them

Look forward to seeing the headwear

......happy benchtime

Marcin, very well done on embroidery work, tidier than mine, I had a nightmare trying to get them right. Seriously
I put his eyes facing in other direction. As you say a wonderful sculpt makes painting easier.
I have only managed to paint 3 of these busts, cannot get motivated to get back to painting.

I wonder if they were his own gold teeth? Need to dig out "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", or "The Victors" to check it out now. He was a bit young in "Lolita"
Looking good Marcin
