That is VERY eye catching! I especially like the pic with the stone wall background. The color tones are much better. It really brings out the uniform and cap colors. And, that face... WOW. It looks like it could be a studio portrait photo of a real person.

[Edward]

Great work!

 

[Renato]

Lovely! The red is not very contrasted which is usually what I receive as criticism but in this case I think it's really added value and I really like the effect, jumps out of the video!

And that face.....those flesh tones...... Wow!

Very well done!

Thank you all for the great comments, this was a real pleasure to paint, the face sculpt by Paulo (Offo) is really superb.
Red has always looked blown out when you photograph it but this was okay.
Thank you all again
Regards.

This has got to be your best work Bob.... I have to agree with Paul he looks as if he could step out of the photo...love the brick background. . Mike

Cheers Mike, I surprised myself with this one. Just hope I can repeat this on the next figure.
The brick background is from a photographic website for a lightbox. Peedee put this up some years ago.
