Excellent work retouching the face. Subtle, but noticably different.

Moving onto the bearskin and other parts of the head dress.

Everyone has their own style of painting, no matter how we copy
And you also have it! I really like how the face is painted. And the sculpture itself, the taco of a harsh uncle.
That's the stuff!

Nice work on the headwear , like the cords and flounders ...NMM ?

Thanks König, yes totally agree. It's a bit of a sneer

Thanks Kevin. Not sure what you mean regarding NMM or LoH ribbon?
Sorry mate.

Thanks Dutch, will post an update and managed to come across the original version of the face for comparison. Not that I'm bagging the original sculptor's work, just wanted to add my own individual flair to the face and a couple of other area's.

Posting an update. Have been busy the last few days, along with some night shifts, which can really put a spanner in the works with any creativity.
Found the original face for a comparison, not bagging the original sculptor's work, but I wanted to add my own style onto this fabulous figure.

I'd say you got the corner market on this one. Not only can you sculpt quite well, but your paint work is excellent!

This is looking really good so far. What are you using - oils, acrylics, both?
