WIP Critique Nathan Bedford Forrest

[frank h]

Hi
working on this Flat from Mil Mart
I like the subject Forrest was a colourful character
But being a personality figure the likeness has been a head ache

I am reasonably happy with where its going

All comments welcome

Looks a great start Frank. It's nice to see different interpretations of Ken's sculpts.

Frank, I apologise if I gave you an headache but what you've done with those flesh tones and eyes is amazing, that is now the Forrest I thought I had sculpted.

Cheers Ken
