Yury Serebriakov - Landsknecht Bust

[Guy]

I receieved an email from our member, Yury Serebriakov, who is a talented sculptor for the once Seil Miniatures and also of Pegaso Miniatures. Yury just completed the master of another Landsknecht bust for Ademola 22 Miniatures.

From Yury he wrote to me:

It is a bust of the Landsknecht 1:9 (200мм). It's not finished while, therefore I hope for any comments, corrections, additions!

Warm regards,
Sincerely,
Yury

Landsknecht 200mm

Yury would like to hear your comments, corrections needed or additions needed as it is not complete.

Beautiful sculpt, really like the facial expression and texture to the hat. A true work of art.

On the sculpting front I'd say this is awesome! Every feature of the face is just about perfect, looks like a real person. The stubble, the ears, the subtle smile are all top notch; as good as it gets. And the hair, personally I'm a huge fan of this level of intricate, obsessive detail in hair sculpting, if it can be replicated in the casting.

The bust overall though... the jacket hanging open the way it does looks wrong. In a full figure I think this could work - where you'd see the whole garment - but seeing only the top portion like this it just looks odd to me.

Yuri,you are a brilliant sculptor no doubt.
I have many of your pieces,they're great.
This piece is superb as it is but I reckon It could even be better with the inclusion of an entire left arm folded back across the chest with the hand fiddling with perhaps a pair of dice (although that sounds a bit cliched),perhaps stuffing a pipe single handed as per the style of the day or fondling a leather pouch of winnings or mercenary earnings.
Cheers,well done!!

perhaps stuffing a pipe single handed as per the style of the day
Cheers,well done!!

Stuffing a pipe in the early years of the 16th century? Hmm, did I miss any news about the import of tobacco from the New World?

Very nice sculpt as is.

 

[Y.S.]

Thanks for good ideas!
It can be used for new busts!
But this is moulding already...

 

[Doberdob]

Superb sculpting! The face is excellent.
