Hi Guys,
I have just picked up my brushes again after a few months away from the hobby. This is a Deborah Raymond bust, I still have a fair bit of work to do on it including his white and red feathered plume which will be a bit of a challenge.
All comments welcome.

Mark,
I still have some more contrast work to do on the white, in particular the Czapska. Hopefully he'll be ready for AMSS.
Seb,
the bust is 1/9th scale.

Welcome back Steve. He's a cracker

Good job, Steve!

I already was wondering where you were hiding. Being away a few months of the workbench didn't affect your skills though.

The metals of the czapska do look very convincing, but IMO the white front could do with some shading and vertical colour transition.

I would add some shade too but your work isn't finished yet so maybe you meant to do that
Great work so far

I like the flesh tones Steve. The bust sure has a great amount of crisp detail.

Great face and flesh tones.
