WIP Critique Julius Caesar Bust

[ghamilt1]

I am almost finished this magnificent bust from Nuts Planet. I just need a few touch ups here and there, maybe a few highlites on the metal parts, and of course a suitably plinth on which to display him. Feel free to chime in.

Nice job for sure. First I have seen and you have set the bar high Glenn.

On display at a show this is guaranteed to stop you in your tracks for a closer look.
Very well done.

Very fine art-sy! Like a painting in a gallery, really...Bravo!

Top job on this Glenn. I really like the darkish dramatic look ..... works
Only observation is it might be worth 'softening' the eybrows a bit, but that might just be the photo not picking up on the shading.
Cheers

very good work!!!

 

[Karlosfandango]

Amazing work. In every way. A great piece to from Nuts Planet

 

[ghamilt1]

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your kind words. I agree with you Derek, the eyebrows are one of those areas in need of a second look. As they sit now, they appear to have been applied with a eyebrow pencil, so that's definitely on the list.

 

[DancingShaman]

Very nice shadowing my friend!

 

[Ray Welshman]

Looks better up close, great job Glenn

By the way didn't Caesar pluck his eye brows and draw them back in with a pencil

Cheers

[ghamilt1]

Thanks again gents, and you could be right Ray, maybe we'll ask the chatty man at the second cup, he seemed to be an expert.

 

[housecarl]

Another cracker Glenn.

 

[tonydawe]

Beautiful painting as usual Glenn.

 

[JGREEN]

Looking good! I like that dark red. Maybe the best of your stuff that I've seen.

Thanks very much Tony, Carl and Jason. Will have to make a few adjustments prior to declaring him "done". This is the first bust I've done in over a year, and I have already started Life Miniatures Hindenburg bust along with this one in the past few weeks. There have been some outstanding busts released lately, it will be hard to resist a few more.
