Completed Woody Bust

[kilsh]

Hi

I finished this a while since, its the War Griffon Old Gnome bust, its great to paint and I could paint this over and over again. For some reason I imagine him as a 'wood gnome' not that I am an expert in this area and reference is slim, nothing even in the Osprey series!

All acrylics, gem stone from Little Cars, scratch earrings and some extra stitching added apart from that OOB, base from Base2B, name plate from Name It.

Cheers

Neil

Well done Neil, apart from the great painting, I love the rustic idea for the base, really sets it off!
Best wishes, Gary.

BTW if you want reference ideas for this sort of work, look on the net for French artist Jean Baptiste Monge, that will likely inspire you to revisit this piece more than once

Gary will do

Btw is Monge the guy who did the gnome with the keys on his back which Adrian hopwood did? I Was always hoping that would be commercial
