    That is a superbly painted piece, but I can't help thinking that his face looks a bit "cartoonish" and I can't work out whether that is down to the sculpt itself or the (clearly very talented) painter's deliberate take on this particular piece.

    For that reason I would be interested to see the bare resin parts and/or a photo of the assembled but unpainted figure.

    Beautiful paint job. Love the depiction of texture.
    Just curious, was he left handed?

    I do not believe thre is any evidence of that. Also, he initally lost the LEFT eye as a teenager.

    His sword is hanging at his right-hand side, too. That makes me wonder if the images were reversed by mistake.

    Prost!

    For the eye patch - before the remnants of his crane were examined in the 60-s, there were a lot of depiction with a patch on the right eye, including the Vitkov monument

    Hello guys,
    Thank you for your comments.
    If you visit some museum or if you will find some art from 15-16century (what is so close to his live) you can see there he is painted with right blind eye mostly. And no one knows i he was right or left handed, just our imagination was: If you have just left eye you must adapt your fighting style, and you need your healthy eye in front for better view :)
    But like i said, no one knows what is true so this is open for conversation.

    Here i add artwork for this figure what i sculpt and paint, for me and Tomas this is matter of heart so we just enjoy :) i hope you like him too
