I have worked to transform a young looking bust from Nocturna models (Aileen) to make it look older. The last picture is from Nocturna models homepage of the original sculpt as a refeerence.

Learned a lot on this model and really enjoyed to paint it.

    Great idea and execution

    • John_Engstrand

      thank you, it been in my head for a long time, did a version of old and young on a smaller figure before and decided to try and get one step further on this one and a bigger scale.

  • Roman LappatPLUS

    This is one of my favourite projects on Putty&Paint; since a long time. Changing a character this way is so impressive. Gold and Editor’s choice from my side!  A very unique project!

    • John_Engstrand

      Thank you Roman, you have been one of the people that influenced me the most since the course in Arvika. It was the first course that I attended. I feel grateful for your praise.

  • Mally Anderson

    I love how you have taken this sculpt in a completely different direction. It’s been great to watch it come together. A well deserved gold

  • Chris / g0rb

    Wow, this is amazing work. The way you etched the lines into the face, I would have thought it was sculpted this way. Gold!

    • John_Engstrand

      Thanks Chris, I really enjoyed doing this one but alot of frustration from time to time with making the aging look good.
