The latest work I finished painting - 1:10 Samurai bust which was sculpted by Charles Agius and released by Limbo Miniatures.

It was a great experience for me to paint this bust because it provided me with the opportunity to do some interesting reference research before painting and try some new stuff during painting, which I always enjoy.

Hope you like it. As always, any comments or suggestions are truly welcome.

    Amazing work. Everywhere. Even with so much detail going on I love how much attention the face draws. Like I said i like everything aboit this paintjob, but especially enjoy the way you treated the sword. It looks simple on the first view but on the second look it is a wonderful and thoughtful interpretation of metal. Love it! Great work!

    • Jason Zhou

      Thanks a lot for taking the time to give comments, Roman. That type of sword is very long and is an interesting item to paint. Besides using some different tones, I tried to capture a few very shining areas as well as depict the hamon on the blade to make the sword more eye-catching from an overall perspective. The painting did take quite a while; but I am glad to hear from you that the result is satisfying.
