Beautiful work Stephen..........his flesh tones are great.....matter of fact....the whole figure is great.

 

[LCoote]

Yeah! Excellent work there Stephen, I love it!

 

[Jim Patrick]

Stephan, that is outstanding. The ENTIRE figure is good. I can't point one item out and say oh, I like how you did such and such. I like the whole figure and how it looks. Ok, if I had to pick one it would be the way you used color that were complimentory to each other and how they turned out. So many times I paint a figure only to discover that the colors don't look right. Not the case here with your figure. Truly a great looking figure. By the way, what scale is it?

Thanks,
Jim Patrick

Stephen, Very Very nice. You've complimented the excellent sculpting well.~Gary

 

[slaj]

Guy, thanks.Yes ,I do agree that the flesh tones turned out nicely. I have to say that for once I managed to get the exact mix I had in mind considering the subject

Jim and all ,thanks for your positive feedback. I agree that you have to visualise the end result as close as possible in a way that you can plan your mixes. I believe that a really good paint job is also ( apart from other things) the ability to achieve good colour harmony which has to be pleasing to the eye.This,obviously , staying in line with accurate uniform and reference detail. BTW the scale is 54mm

Jason , of course I'll share the flesh mix with you. And any other mix if you need it. So here it is.

Base : AV860 + AC48
H/L : Base + AV860 + AV928
Shadows : Base + AV814 + AV950

Gary and all ,thanks. Yes I agree that the sculpting of this piece is simply outstanding. It was designed by my favourite sculptor Adriano Laruccia for EMI. The thing is I don't know if it's avilable for the simple reason that it was given to participants of last year's St.Vincent show.You have to check through them I suppose

Graet figure men, very nice painting but I think taht you forgot the eyebrowns...
Congratulations my friend

 

[slaj]

Roc, thanks my friend.The sculpting is not mine though.It's by Laruccia

Stephen Mallia

 

[slaj]

ernesto, thanks for your comments.As for the eyebrows , I'm a little wary in this scale. It's not that they were forgotten but , personally I prefer to create an optical illusion rather than paint them overscale.Believe me teh size of the afce in the flesh is way to small to make that much difference. BTW I had a good look at your stuff in your gallery.My compliments.there's some pretty impressive stuff there

Great figure, from the sculpting to the painting. I really like the choice of unique subject matter.

 

[gforceman]

Hi Stephen,

I don't like it, I LOVE it. Very well done. The entire figure is superb, but his skincolour is super superb.

Keep up the excellent work.

Greetz,

Gino
