Everyone else gushing about the figure, so I'll note that
the base is excellent. Contributes, adds, does not overwhelm.
Very cohesive and moody....especially with the dark green background.

When I paint mine, I'll reference this.

Thanks Wheels, glad you like him and he will be used as a reference for you.

It is very very nice ,

Thanks Alex

Just been having a closer look at this John - did you actually put very fine strings on his lute, or is the effect painted on? Either way great work!

[John Belcher]

He certainly looks like a fun fellow. Kudos on a very nice job all round.

Thanks Andrew. Glad you like him. Yes fun to paint. Great little sculpt.

Smashing John, and nice vibrant colours. Love the ground work.

 

[John Belcher]

Beautifully painted, as always John. I love the vivid colours, and the way you've highlighted the magenta gives it a silky look.

Thanks Nick, glad you liked him. I worked on that magenta for a while and was trying to give a silk look so nice to see you think it looks silky.

Thanks Mike, appreciate your words.

Well this one nearly slipped past which would have been a great shame - one of the nicest 54's I've seen for a while.
Colourful without being garish, lovely handling of the groundwork face and different fabrics. Green with envy, moi?

Hi Steve, I tried using several different things for strings but it didn't look right so gave the illusion with paint. Glad you like the result.
