Work in Progress - Saladin

[tksculpt]

This is a future Pony Soldier Bust in progress. A depiction of Saladin (Saalh-el-Adin) with Arabic inscription on the shield.

Not quite ready yet but should be available in March.

Comments welcome.

Very tempting

Okay since you asked, that mail texture is very heavy. Not just for the scale - Eastern mail is admired for being especially fine in construction.

I like it, but i find the shield a littlebit to small.

Saladin

Hi Terry ,
This is an interesting subject , but looking at these pictures the mail does not look fine enough especially for someone so powerful , not sure about the shield , both in size and if it actually is needed ..perhaps it could be left off and incorporated as part of a base . The sword looks to be in mid air , like to see a back view of this , I would prefer it to have been on a belt at the front or at least an option .

Pony Soldier have been busy recently any other busts in the WIP ?

WIP-Saladin

Gentlemen;
Thanks for the comments. I will try and adjust the model as per your critiques.

Not sure about the mail texture. Difficult to change at this point.

I agree, the shield, while nice, dosen't really work
