Pedro

Xenofon

Gerry.

Another superb piece Brian. You are one of the most consistent artistic painters I have ever seen. Very envious

Regards

Ron

Thanks for your kind comments lads,much appreciated.I'm always a bit frustrated after taking the pictures, as I never seem to be able to duplicate what they look like in the flesh,thankfully the figure's are usually a bit better.As for the eyes Ron and Marc I just paint the iris's with highlights and shading and then add the catchlight which should be just touching the iris and pupil.This brings the eyes to life.

Brian

Mighty fine Brian other than that I'd just be repeating everybody else.
Cheers
Derek

Have to agree Brian, really nice work,I very much like the way you painted the black cloak and Red Cross,very striking

Hello Brain

Very nice work. May I know the brand of this bust? Thanks!

It's called "The Chieftain" and you can order it from Heroes and Villains site which I can highly recommend all of their products.
Brian

Like it alot, the persona of Knight of Santiago suits this bust much better than clansman - very clever idea.

Great work !!!

I like the skin tone, fantastic.

Lovely work, as always Brian. That face is incredibly lifelike.

More of your outstanding work Brian, they just seem to get better and better.
Love his cloak, your black is outstanding.

Don
