Excellent painting and great greens. I have this in my GA. So will use this for reference.
You have done a very good job on this one.

Hi Christian

Great stuff mate , it's a nice looking uniform as well red facings .

Like the flesh tones and the greens ..what colours did you use ?

If I may I think the lips are IMO not quite right ..need toning down a little ..apart from that rather nice

Thanks for sharing

Hi Nap,
the colors i used are Scale 75. For me they give a better mate finish.
Green is Black Forrest with brown leather for darkening the tone. Shadows with black leather, lights with sherwood green. I painted the green 3 times till i was satisfied with the result because in the beginning the contrast of my mixes was too hard
The base-fleshtone is a mix of Vallejo Red leather, sunny skin and white, shadows with Scale 75 indian shadow and lights with Scale 75 golden skin and light skin.
About the lips - yeah you are right. But I was too lazy to change it

Great paint on a very nice bust, the greens of the Jacket are spot on.

Great intense look to the eyes. Was going to suggest the lips were too purple-y but others have seen this, too. Only suggestion would be that there should be a little more pink-red around the ear edges.

Overall enviable.
