ibelin in progress

[Stephan]

Hello here i am nearby to finish mr. ibelin soon.
it is in oils.
he is not finished, I think i give him brighter eyes and the cape I want to do in black.
Fell free for comments he is not finished i can change things.

Sthephan, very nice attempt, but I would prefer him with helmet. The base is monumental ! Speeking about the clothes, I would advice you for more contrast.
Is it a commercial boust ?

Stephan,

Very nice work. He is the spitting image of Liam Neeson - nice sculpting and painting.

Cheers!

Stephan,
nicely done. Is this a commercial piece? I've never seen this one. The base is interesting. Did you scratch build it or did the piece come with it? Thanks,

Jay H.
OKC

I like the base, interesting concept. There is a resemblance there to Liam. I may have missed something but is this a character from a movie?~Gary

 

[Charles Denomolos]

Gary see "Kingdom of Heavan"- it's an excellent watch, and the 2 disc set is well worth getting....

Excellent work Stephan. I look forward to the finished version.

Good work Stephan,Base is very interesting,something really different.
Photos have too much light,so I guess that your bust has more contrasts.
best regards
christos

Sorry I cant link it exactly please go under innersphere on the left.

You can also buy the base seperatly or with bust.

Yes the pics are to shiny i did it at night. The cape needs to get more contrast.
I think the producer did a nice job on the base.

When you are interestet in I will do a short review abaout the kit.

Here are the next steps the cape is not finished.
I dont know how to do the second side of the shield metalls wood or ?

Und noch ein paar pics wo die Schatten im Gesicht besser zu sehen sind mit rot und Blau und hautfarbe gemischt. Auch habe ich versucht dem Bart ein älteres Graues Aussehen zu verleihen, was
Meint ihr gelungen oder eher nicht.?

Das fotografieren geht mir zur Zeit nicht von der Hand.
Das Cape wird auchnoch gemacht, nicht gleich losmeckern.

Thanks for the updated pictures. If you're using a digital camera you may want to try not using a flash.~Gary

Stephan,

Nice painting on the shield.

The shields of the Norman and French 12th and 13th century crusaders were made of wood, leather (and sometimes other animal hide) and cloth at times, almost universally planked (backed) in wood. Here is more information about such shields: http://www.medieval-spell.com/Medieval-Shields-Designs.html.

Nice work. It's fun to see this progress.

Hier die Schädel aus Zinn, die zu der Büste dazu waren. Ich hab sie ocker grundiert, vandyckbraun gewasht und weiss gedrybrusht

Dann brauch ich mal ein paar Meinungen, arrangieren könnte ich das so wie auf dem untern Bild

Oder die Schädel vielleicht unter den Sockel, was meint ihr, oder in unterschiedlichen Stufen an
Die Metallstange geklebt, ursprüngliche Idee.

Please can you give me an advice to arrange the bust on the base? I am not shure how to do it.
Your opinions are welcome.

 

[Stephan]

Here are the final pics, I enjoyed it to do that nice piece.
Thanks for all your comments an critics.

Hier nun auch die Finalen des Ibelin, obwohl mich die Lösung eigentlich nicht befriedigt,
hab ich mich doch dazu entschlossen.
Kritik kommt auch schon von mir selber, schwarz schafft mich, die übergänge krieg
Ich da überhaupt nicht hin, aber ansonsten gefällt er mir persönlich schon.
Danke auch für eure ganzen kommentare und meinungen, man lernt doch auchsehr
Viel daraus.

Mir scheint ich hab nun auch das Richtige Fotoprogramm gefunden, an diesen Kameras
könnt man ja manchmal verzweifeln
Achja, danke Dirk für den Tipp mit den Zweikomponentenkleber für die Augen.
