Hi Steve

Liking the way this is going ..as said eyes look good ...will you put a catchlight in ?

Possibly push the highs a little more on the flesh ?

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime

Stay safe

[Helm]

No I will just gloss varnish the eyes, not a fan of catchlights personally.

Changed the yellow on the eagle I think it works better

 

[1969]

Looks better being touch darker than the first yellow.

Steve

 

[Helm]

Ta mate I thought so, more depth and contrast.

[Helm]

All there now just detailing and the money bag to add, all comments as ever welcome, good or bad

Looking good.....always liked this bust but never pulled the trigger. Casting looks a bit rough and closeups don't do any favors. Keep up the good work.

Casting is fine the photos make it look rough being so large, plus I had a bit of a dust issue but couldn't be arsed to strip it all over.
