WIP Critique El greco conversion/ Bounty Hunter

[kiwi45]

Hi all, well after a hectic time here in Christchurch have been able to do a little more modelling on the El Greco bust which I have converted into a fantasy piece. still some shading of the red "hoodie" and work on the armour etc. Also I'm not sure weather to stay with the single eye or re-do the blind one as normal. comments welcome Les

Very cool. Excellent dragon. I would stay with the blind eye.

The blind eye gives it some very nice character,beautiful painting thanks for posting

Hi Les ,
Nice conversion , can I suggest that you send this to Matt at El Greco , they would love to have details .

Nice dragon painting , possibly bit more shading on the flesh and definately stick with the blind eye , here is a cople of pictures , the female has full blown cataract and blind .

Glad to hear that you are well Less.
What the blind eye concern: stay with it, but give it a nice light silvery off white pupil.
That dragon is absolutely awesome.
I really like the work that you have done.

My compliments Les, for an excellent conversion. Like the fantasy theme of it -I'd go for the blind eye. Looks good!

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

I completely agree. The blind eye works really well with it and that tattoo is is not only well done, but a brilliant idea for this piece!

We should turn a blind eye to the question??

Couldn't help it!!! What a great conversion!! I vote for the blind eye which, combined with the dragon and the great paint job make a really neat piece!!

Bravo!

Funny, I even posted on the sculpt. Great job on both the painting and the sculpting job... It was the padded gambeson that I really liked on the sculpt.....

Tormag, many thanks for your comments, the gambeson was fun to scuplt.
