After my last post and the suggestions you gave me about taking pictures of my figures i am posting the figure i am currently working on.It lacks some detail and groundwork though.Comments are more than welcome!!!

 

[jimias]

one more

 

[jimias]

Can i attach more than one picture at a time?

 

[Guy]

He is looking fantastic Dimitrios.......one of my favorite subjects.....The American Mountain Man.

To post multiple images in the same post you would need an Image storage such as Kitpic or photobucket.

www.kitpic.com is the image storeage I use and you can sign up for a free account or establish their Pro-account for a small amount. You can use the kitpic tutorial to learn the ins and outs of the Image Storage sign-in and the use of the kitpic. After clicking on the link below click on each screen to follow the easy step by step instructions.

Beautiful painting Dimitrios,
very good leater effect!!!
Ciao Alessandro :lol:

 

[Dan Morton]

Marvelous! The leather looks supple! Just a suggestion - I would make the skin tone and beard lighter or darker so there is more contrast with the hair colors in the hat. Very nice!

All the best,
Dan

 

[DaveCox]

Wonderful painting, and the photography is pretty good too.

 

[jimias]

Dan thank you for the syggestion.In fact i started painting the beard black, but he turned out alot more savage than i wanted him to look.That's why i come to this brown color.You r absolutely right though on the contrast subject.The face doesn't seem to stand out.

 

[Guy]

I would dry-brush the lower strands of his beard with light gray / white to break up the browns and make him a little older Mountain man.

 

[jimias]

I think that's a very good,efficient and quick solution guy.I ll stick to that plan i think!!

 

[megroot]

Dimitrios.

this is a very good painted figure. But i have to agree with Guy and Dan to redo the eyebrows and the beard. It looks all the same.
Further i can only enjoy the beutifull painting.

Dimitrios - I'm sure you'll get the shading right in the end. Actually I shouldn't give advice to painters since I ain't one! Not all that much of a sculptor either, come to that! :lol:

I forgot to ask earlier - who sculpted this figure? Is it yours? I really like that face and particularly the nose.

All the best,
Dan

dimitrios,
great stuff! Over all this is looking very nice! I agree that the hair could stand more contrast with the hat in back, but over all he looks great!
