Here is my version of this great bust by Spira Mirabilis. There have been so many amazing renditions of this piece with fantastic conversions and ideas, but I decided to keep mine straight forward and simple. I painting this all live on twitch and gave it away to a viewer.
Great version of this little nasty bugger. Even you say it is straight-forward and simple I think it is not. Lovely shadow and light work and great material and textures. Thumbs up! Really nice and uniquely your version! Keep on happy painting!
You say straight forward and simple yet I think your version is one of my favorites I’ve seen. The subtle shadows, the variation in the flesh tones of the hands, the textures and patterns. well done.

Thank you so much! I was thinking “simple” more like just the stock figure, no add ons/conversions that so many other amazing artists did.
