I agree with all of the above, but I do have an observation: I think the wounds on the forehead should be fatal as the shading and highlighting make them look quite deep. Buck and ball maybe? Joke. A shallow wound there would be extremely dramatic and in character but these appear to me too deep. In no way does that detract from the top notch paint job.--

I love it, very dramatic and very effective, everything a bust should be!

Brilliant painting with a lot of dynamics. I like the strengthof your tones and the drama.
Congratulations

I think the completion of your work is perfect.
I think facial painting is very wonderful.
I liked it in an expression of a facial bruise in particular.
The color of the uniform is also vivid and very beautiful.
I congratulate completion.

Superb detailing, even down to the perspiration. You have certainly brought a fairly inanimate looking bust to "life".

Hello Rodrigo,

This work are truly inspiration, this Verlinden bust is gorgeous.
Stunning work

Hi Rodrigo! Como estas? ( How are you?)
I really like the dramatic effect, you have made this bust better. May be a bit hard some transitions of tones, but i think you wanted this effect.

Couldn't agree more, you've taken what I've always felt was quite a mediocre bust and painted it on another level! Love the dirty, battle weary look to this fellow! Very well done Rodrigo!

Rodrigo, Looks like you had a lot of fun with this piece..
the weathering, worn tired and battle weary approach
really speaks...but I think Paul K said it best....
Cheers

Super job here on a bust I never took much notice of - you've really changed this a lot, thanks for posting Ricardo - RobH.

Rodrigo, you gave life to a "neutral" Verlinden bust !
