    Just finished
    100% acrylic paint
    A joy to paint, from the thick wool, silk belt, linen shirt to the leather parts... and of course the armour. A lot of work went in representing the skin of a middle aged man with the muscles of the neck showing through an aged skin.

    Tough one to tackle being that it's been done and shown many times; but I'm thinking this one might be a stand out....Love the color combinations and detail......face looks superb.......

    Thanks for the warm comments. The idea I had in mind while doing this bust was to make it as historically accurate as possible. I was not after the look of a roman emperor with his 'sunday' clothes but more of a general in campaign.
    I see bust painting as portrait exercise thus the emphasis on rendering of the skin (most important thing for me)

    Cheers

    Thank you all for the comments. I prefer to paint figures with feet but doing a bust once in a while is quite relaxing indeed

    cheers

    After looking at my first set of pictures, I was not happy about the red wool paludamentum. Contrast was too high in the most exposed parts of the surcoat exposed to light. I have added thin red acrylic glazes and now I am finally happy with the result. All pictures now showing on this thread are the newest and final pictures.

    Thanks
