Today i want to show you my second human bust. It is "The Lion" from Nutsplanet, resembling Tywin Lannister.
As i am getting (slowly) the hang of painting busts, i wanted to focus on facial expression on this piece. I wanted tho have him looking right at the viewer, cunning, menacing, very intelligent. I went for a bit more reddish tones in his eyes to have a little bit of the facial tones of an angry lion in his eyes.
Also i worked with True Metals very serious for the first time and i have to say that i love to use them on busts. Some more practice and i will be able to achieve nice results. :)
I hope you like him!

Outstanding work on the facial expression an the metallic’s. I loved the eyes the most though and the red in the corners really make them pop.

Awesome!!

Very good job! One of the best I’ve seen of him. The only fault I can find is that perhaps there is a bit too much vitality to the skin, which could be reconciled with a bit more of a pallid tone. Love the metals. As an NMM guy up to this point, metals such a these make me want to try out some TMM very soon. May I ask, were these Scale75 metals?
Daniel
Yes these were the scale75 ones. Insanely good paints!:)
