Yes of course that was a little joke.

I agree, the figure sculpting and painting are brilliant.

Hi Bo
Perhaps next time mate I can make him look a bit more like me without the moustache ;-)

Thank you for posting

Absolutely astonishing way of painting a face. Can you give some advice on how you did that?

Thanks Stefan.
Bit hard to break my face painting down as it progresses over many hours until I'm sort of happy with it.
I'm learning that important part of face is the surrounding colours which help being it out as in this case with the fur edging on his helmet.

I've used acrylics mixed with a satin medium as I've painted.
Brushes are Size 1-2 from Vallejo & Sth Korea.
Paints are Jo Sonja & Vallejo.

Painting sequence - sort of

Eyes base V Light Flesh, Iris V Military Green + JS Naples Yellow, Pupil - V Matt Black
Base colour is V Beige Red + V Military Green
Shadows V Calvary Brown
Highlights JS Naples Yellow & V Light Flesh
Cheeks V Vermillion
5 o'clock shadow is JS Paynes Gray

All added with lots of practice ;-)

Does that help?

This was done with acrylics only? Whow! Now I am impressed even more.
