Just wanted to show you the finished Creole. I really had fun sculpting this figure and I would like to thank Gary again for such a Great idea! I hope I did it justice Gary!
Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoyed this figure and I am not sure what is next but I have a few ideas. It will be awhile before I get to the paint but I will have him in Atlanta. I was thinking of just putting him out for the display. I look forward to painting him as well but I don't want to rush him. I am almost finished with the Sherlock and need to finish one other before the show.
Patrick,
I will paint him like I usually do and that is the flesh will be in oils and the rest in acrylics.
Again thanks for the nice words and the encouragement!
I could imagine he's sitting at the banks of the Mississipi somewhere in the neighbourhood of New orleans... hope there aren't any 'gators too close by! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Joe, I keep repeating it every time - "figure painters, include some wildlife in your groundwork"!
... Now suppose he'd be sitting on a barrel on some sort of wooden wharf on the muddy bank of the Mississipi ... under that wooden wharf (some sort of platform on supporting beams) would be a big mean hungry 'gator sliding into the water... it could be done you know! :lol: :lol: :lol:
