Completed The Happy Monk

[outrunthedogs]

Excellent figure and perfectly painted, the ground work is great!

 

[Jamie Stokes]

Very, very nice.

two things I liked straight away
- the smooth tones & blending on the monks outfit
- the ceramic effect on the flagon hanging from his belt.

Given the small size, you have done very well!

Cheers

Great version of that happy "little" guy. Proud that I have got the last piece of the copies. But have seen so many wonderful versions of him, that it is difficult for me to paint him. I like the idea for your groundwork very much

Had this in my hands last night, the photographs although pretty good do little to show the real subtleties of this figure.
The orange in particular is superb and the ground work is beautifully done.

There's a lovely touch of whimsy to this figure David. Beautifully painted and very subtle. A masterpiece.

Saw this one live the other night , the pictures do not do it justice here the orange tones are fantastic and shading has got to be seen to be believed .
Fantastic one Dave.

I hope this is available soon. Not that it matters much to me but is it resin or metal? Great job on this!

 

[davidmitchell]

Hi Tom ,hope you get a chance to paint one of these fantastic figures.Its a resin casting.


Cheers David

 

[T-34/85]

Thanks David, resin is a little easier to work with. I hope to have the chance if/when they do another run on this.
