Viking

[Magnus]

Hi! Finally got some paint on a Viking bust I sculpted during the Christmas holidays. Comments and critique are welcome sa always.

Wow now that is a bust I would buy! Will this be a commercial product?

John

 

[Magnus]

Thank you very much John! This is not a commercial since I'm not on that level. But maybe in the future with more practice

 

[Ulrich]

Not on the Level??? You are joking or ???? I would have taken one for sure. What do you have used for the chainmail? It looks like wire

 

[Magnus]

Thank you Ulrich, the chainmail is lead wire 0.010in / 0.25mm diameter, rolled around a paper clip and flattened. Got the tip from a SBS by Anders Heintz.

Very well done, but the mail links should interlink.

[Magnus]

Ha ha, I know Mike, but I couldn't pull that off and keep the links in scale

 

[Gaudin]

Thing to be mindfull next time is size of the iris, I would make them smaller. Rest superb. May be some cuts on the shield will spice it up.

"Not on that level" if only I could get to that level! I would certainly think about getting it produced as it is one of the better vikings I have seen.

I would agree with all of the above in particular the eyes,but don't take that as a slap in the face.....serious potential there.....what is the scale or did I miss it?......................Well done....keep up the good work..............Wayne

 

[megroot]

Awesome sculpt.
If possible: re-paint the eyes.

[amcairns]

Its a good sculpt ,the only thing for me is the left shoulder needs a little more height.

Heck, Magnus ... just cast some copies!!! Your level is stunning At least I would be in the first row to purchase a sample!

 

[Magnus]

Thank you so much everybody for the very kind words. Looks like I will have to revisit this sculpt after I have gained some more experience

 

[Helm]
