    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

    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!

    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?? :p;)

    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!
