Completed The Raider

[brian]

Just finished this one and as usual once photographed i can see some fine tuning is needed.I've added another picture to show the difference in the bust with different lighting,which is a part of this hobby i don't like one bit i.e. photography!!!!Goes to show that it's always better to see figures in the flesh.

It looks like a classic painting, maybe Rembrandt.
What a fabulous piece of art.

Hi! Brian.
I feel the sense looking a picture in at all.
A very wonderful finish.
The sense of your coloring is amazing.
I congratulate completion of a masterpiece.

Mighty Fine!
I see what Marc means about Rembrandt but have a lookat Durers early self potrait.
A dead ringer I think.

It goes to show how photos can be deceptive Brian. Both stunning, but they could be totally different pieces.

Thanks lads for your kind comments and i too prefer blonds!Your right Derek about Durer painting but he's actually based on a Van Gogh as if he got his hair cut you'ld see hes got an ear missing.

Brian maybe your next one could be Davy Crockett with a wild front ear.
