WIP La Meridiana Sunka Bloka Bust

Hello everybody.
I've been working on this bust for a while (Quite slowly).
For now, I've completed the lower half of the bust.
I'll appreciate any comments/suggestions.

Great work on the beadwork.
Like the colors.

Lovely detail and the face is very characterful but I wondered about the headress sticking up like that - is he meant to be in a strong wind? It seems a little unbalanced to my uninformed eye but maybe you're intending to add more at the back.

The headress is not complete. There are 2 sections missing in the back.
And yes, the figure meant to be in a wind and that is why the headress is "blown" like that ..

Very nice work indeed!. lovely patchwork, .. . I have to admit the sculpting on the eyes is very user friendly, and highly defined! ... those feathers are going to be fun! .. :nailbiting:

Regards,

Mark

Hello Continue working on the bust, I finished assembling the headdress, and begin to paint the face. I intend to replicate an old and sun burned Indian. I will appreciate any suggestions on how to improve the flesh tones.
