Tears of Joy - 78th Highlander, 1809, bust.

[Kisifer]

Hello all fellow PF members,

It's always nice to post a finished work and get comments here, so that's what I'm going to do right now. Here I present you my latest work, this time a bust. An excellent work from Latorre Models at 150mm. Well in busts like this one...it's very difficult to paint them differently or give something extra on your paintjob. My idea was to make a man ready to cry from joyment (watery/redish eyes). I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Well any comments and critics are welcome, just a quick note that the colors in real life are slightly more live and not that flat as shown.

Xenofon, I think you nailed it! This bust has a certain look and you have taken that look to the top! Great idea to incorporate the look of this bust with the emotion you wanted to convey. Nice work!
