Congrats, Francis! This is a lovely paint job, with the added value that it is new, and you are probably the first of us to have rendered th piece. That's always considerably satisfying.
A beautiful piece, and fantastic painting, a good benchmark for us to work towards to, Really like the flesh tones and the way that you have handled the chain mail.
Francis, this is the university of miniature painting and you are teaching us here
Fantastic face part and great shadows on the beard make me feel like the direct sun hitting the face of the crusader somewhere in Palestina, just great!!!

This beautiful work Francis, you cannot get this bust painted to a better level as you have aged him quite correctly without any harsh or overdone facial lines.
