I see what you've done with the different treatment of the figure's left side (warm) and right side (cool). I haven't gone back to your earlier posts, but I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve.
Overall, I like the presentation. You have used a style, and have applied it consistently. I like the dogtag nameplate - very original. Can't say I'm a fan of the black-background photography, but that's me. I would like to see a "natural light" image of this figure, to gain a fuller appreciation of what you have done with this bust.
Back to the warm vs. cool: the two sides of the jacket are not harmonious - there's something not quite right, to my eyes. If you were attempting to develop cast shadows, I think you could have been much more aggressive - where is the light coming from? If from over his head, then the cool side looks . . . not quite right, to me. If the light is onto his left cheek, from an angle, then the figure's left side looks great. (The back-of-the-coat shadow makes me think the latter is correct.) I'm just not sure that the "in-shadow" side should be cool colors, or should be greyed-down versions of the left side colors . . .
In any event, John, I salute you for taking a different approach with this figure. This is the best treatment of this figure that I can remember seeing. Congratulations! Don
