Completed Elsa BERLIN 1945 FINISHED.

[unknown01]

Hello, everyone.
I have completed a figure at last.
(Elsa BERLIN 1945.VERLINDEN 120mm)
this time was a female figure, so this figure was difficult for me.
I used an acrylic gouache for basic painting.
I used oil paints for painting of completion.
All comments welcome.

Great painting skills, Mitsutaka-san, I like it very much! Nice painting of the base too!

Cheers,

Nice work here Mit, although I would look at the lips as they are out of proportion - sexy chick on the Berlin front !

 

[Major_Goose]

Beautiful and different work !
Bravo

HIKARU,

I echo with rheath on the lips thing.... and according to the zoom in images, the eye brows also painted too thick for a girl.

BTW, Great figure. always enjoy your verlinden figures...

Very nicely done Mitsutaka and a very different subject, i agree about the eye brows need lessening as they are too bushy and the top lip just needs reducing and shaping toward the corners of the mouth this would give her a more feminine look, just two very small points as the rest of the figure is looking great.

As the others have said, I think that the eyebrows and lips are a little over full, nice job.

Thank you very much, everyone.

Hi! Nemanja.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
A job had a rough passage with the color of the skin this time for me.
I'm not good at how to use the oil paints, so I'll practice more.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! Rob.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and advice.
It was my mistake about a labrum.
I think this figure looked sexier when processing here politely.
The facial failure is fatal, isn't it?
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! Costas.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I'm not making a pure historical figure so much these days.
A figure of WWII is most.
I also felt like making a metal figure by and by.
I come to think I'd like to make a pure historical figure in particular when your work is being seen.
I also expect your lastest work very much.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! Mark.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I was going to have painted quite politely more than the previous work, but there was also failure.
I'd like to make an effort so that I may practice more and bring it close to a work like you.
I'm also looking forward to your bust model very much.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! CPTan.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and advice.
I think the eyebrow was too thick as you say.
I may correct about here.
It was a mistake that failure concentrated on a face for me.
I'd like to paint carefully so that such thing won't be done from now on.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! Steve.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and advice.
I should take a thinner line for an eyebrow as you said.
I wasn't also observing well about a lip.
I'm often upset about the second half of painting.
I'd like to paint a little more calmly.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! Carl.
It's probably a mistake in a facial part, so I think this problem is quite important.
I think facial painting is emphasized when everyone sees a figure.
I'd like to settle this problem carefully from now on.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! stefano.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I think these troops are a national charge corps.
She isn't doing an armband.
I can't think she was a regular soldier for me.
Thank you for liking it.

Very well done Mitsutaka, this SS female have style

 

[mil-mart]

Mitsutaka, even though she may of mislaid her vanity mirror during the heat of battle she still looks a babe Excellent painting and a great finish to the groundwork.

Cheers Ken

Mitsutaka,
Very different for you. A very well done figure and nice base to set her off. Great job.

Thank you very much, everyone.

Hi! Pedro.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I think the sculpting of this figure is wonderful, too.
I'm thinking maybe the coat which shows more this sculpting attractively was made.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! Ken.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I'd like to make an effort in order to respond to your expectation.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi! John.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
It was the one with the slightly different finished state this time.
I think a work returns to ordinary painting next time.
Thank you for liking it.

I like her a lot, again.
But why she is so red?

 

[unknown01]

Thank you very much, Stephan.

Hi! Stephan.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I think I made the flesh color too pink as you said.
I wanted to make them emphasize a facial contrast, but when I do that, it has been a face like a man.
I thought so to make put the accent on characteristics of a lady to increase the red amount.
I think I should often observe a female model magazine and do a coloring.
Thank you for liking it.

Hi Mitsutaka,

I think this figure is very nice, and finished to your usual very high standard.

My only criticism is the red colours on the cheeks and lips. To me they are too red, and this makes the flesh tone look unrealistic.

Congratulations on finishing another Verlinden figure. You seem to have an inexhaustable supply of Verlinden kits my friend!

 

[Marcel]

Great painted figure Mitsutaka!
I agree with Tony I also find the cheeks a bit to red.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Thank you very much, Tony.

Hi! Tony.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and criticism.
I think I made a mistake in flesh-colored processing as you say.
There is a field as the cartoon film figure (MANGA-figure) in Japan, and a painter of its field uses such color preferably.
However these are a virtual figure, not the figure which reproduced a true person.
I seem to have made a mistake in the thing.
Your opinion, it's a lot, it was helpful ,my friend.
Thank you for liking it at the end.

Thank you very much, Marcel.

Hi! Marcel.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and criticism.
I think it's very difficult about flesh color, too.
When a country is different, the color of the racial skin is being also different, so I'd like to consider and paint those now.
Thank you for liking it.
