Very impressive painting. The overall atmosphere presented in the cold color scheme you choose fits the setting quite well! Do you have any plan to write a detailed SBS article and publish it on the MV site, which will certainly benefit a lot of us again?
Thank you, Martin ... Well, he ain’t real ... I try to avoid bringing the resin bust close to my cats as they would bite and chew on it until there is nothing left. He would not scream, even he might look real!
Thank you ... I do like the historical journey once in a while but I can not change that I usually paint more fantasy than historical pieces. It can be seen in the colours sometimes.
Wonderful job on a very neat bust. Even if you ignore the little bits of snow on him (which are beautifully done), the colors alone do a fantastic job of conveying that cold winter feel to the figure.
Tried to catch the right amount of snow indeed as this quickly can turn into a mess :D ... I always listen to piano music when applying snow, it helps to keep down with it. Thank you, David!
Those textures are brilliant, the face is beyond believe… I don’t like the snow, but that is just my taste.
I truly think this is your best piece so far.
You know all the good I feel with this mini;
To me, this is your chef d’oeuvre, every emotion is feelable and your paint is so smooth!!!! Perfect!!!!
English is a brake, here, to say what I feel with this paintjob!!!!!
Thank you, Oliver. Well my collection never lasts long as I am working freelance with miniature painting. So I got to sell most of my pieces to pay rent and bread. Let me think, from this photo I only own Mephisto. The rest is already sold and gone, but found great new homes!
