WIP Rolf Steiner, Cross of Iron, Alexandros Models

[Rompy]

Hi pF,

Starting out on the next bust while taking a break from the Max Wunsche project.

Here are some WIP shots of the face thus far. As always comments are welcomed

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Interesting approach. It would be nice to have some more SBS shots next time so we can see the way your unique under shading and highlighting is developed. Looks great so far. I always do my eyes first and it looks like you do the reverse. Any particular reason?

Colin

 

[Rompy]

thanks Colin

simple reason, i may strip the face if i am not satisfied

Well done Rompy,
As Collin said, I always start painting my eyes first!
Anyway, I think that what is the most important is the result (and to have fun when we paint !!)
Cheers

Francky

Interesting technique!

Starts out looking like Darth Maul out of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" and ends up looking like James Coburn.

Novel approach - I like it!

Some shots following tonight's session. I mounted it back on the body for checks. I think the eyes look a little off. The wife thinks they are a tad glassy ... will revist them again later. Moving onto the other parts ...

I think it's the right eye the pupil is a fraction too close to the nose,not sure but that's my thoughts, the face is excellent that aside nice one

Hello Rompy, This is coming along great. Nice colors on the tunic. I really like the beard stuble, would you share the colors and your technique in how you produced it? Cross of Iron is one of my favoite war movies, and your painting of "Steiner" is very lifelike. Best of luck the rest of the way. Regards, SG

I would have never thought to go with two shades of blue to add to the olive green. It looks really good!!!!!!

Would you share the proportions of each color?
