Sculptor is Jun-Sik Ahn.
Slight modification to the original sculpt : the tricorn was tilted in order to show more of the forehead and the overlying bandana.
Painted mostly with Golden Soflat acrylic paints. Combination of matte (for the most part) and satin finish depending on the material depicted. Non metallic and true metallics as well.
She represents the figure I am the most happy about since I usually have a feeling of "I could have painted that thing or that part better" once I called it finished.

Stunning piece of painting Alex,I love a the different textures and patterns on the whole piece,one of the best painted busts I’ve seen in a long while

That is absolutely stunning and definitely deserves to be described as "Fine Art".

Masterful paintwork...........

Stunning work Alex, all aspects!

Is the necklace a separate piece, or part of the cast?

Adrian

Military miniatures painted by Eduardo Garcia

Very impressive! Freehand is beautiful as is the rest of the bust.

Doug

Wow, absolutely amazing.

Absolutely beautiful in every respect, you have made this lady stunning, her eyes, her lips, her complexion and the effects and freehand on the clothing and effects on the equipment bring this piece into the masterpiece bracket.
TERRY

lovely work alex, can only agree with everyone's previous comments. you've done an excellent job.

Inspirational. Simply stunning detail.

oh my word, that is beautifully done. The details are impeccable. Truly inspiring work.

She's gorgeous! Some serious intricate paint work, but those eyes, those turquoise eyes, they’re awesome! She looks rather seductive, sheer beauty.


I’d say you reached your goal, you couldn’t do anything better than this, IMHO, Alex.

Thanks Steve ! I agree. Eyes are imho very important to get 'right' when painting busts.. it can make or break a paint job.. even though I did most of the skin at the beginning of this work, eyes were done last.
