Superb face.

 

[smudger1960]

Very nice work,the flesh is really very good,I'll look forward to following this

 

[Eludia]

Lovely brushwork

I especially like your work on the skin areas and the eyes are amazing

You might need to paint out the cigarette filter though, they weren't commonplace till the mid 50s I believe.

Now that is one hell of a face!

Awesome skin tones,looking forward to the rest of the figure been complete. I agree with the comment on the cigarette filter.

[SLR]

thank you guys.

you are absolutely right about the cigarette.

the filtered cigarette was invented by the Swiss in 1930 .

the americans have adopted the filters in 1950 ... .

This is the only anachronism of this bust or we will consider that our guy smoke a Swiss cigarette smoke outlet on a German soldier ...

[Wings5797]

Great work.

 

[SLR]

thank you all.

new step:

- The jump jacket is done,
- Details concerning the parachute are in progress, I still plan to make glacis, to melt certain slightly too artificial details.
- the cigarette does not have a filter anymore...

I tried to texture belts and parachute, not openly convincing, well, I shall content myself with it.

Loads of superb details added to this bust. The added textural effects on the beanie, the cloth patterns on the back pack and strapping are all excellent.

The beanie is still a bit glossy but I'm sure you will fix that. Overall, its coming along beautifully.
