Hello Friends,

I am happy to call this great bust finished, Since my last post in the WIP thread yesterday i added the head tattoos, reworked the face shadows and added some lights to the leathers.
the blade is true metals.
as usual all acrylics from Scale75.
I'm quite happy with the likeness with the Actor (Viktor Skarsgard) not an easy thing to get the correct skintones of a real person



the base was carved with a knife and an Xacto blade by myself

thanks for your comments !

Hi Franck,
Great job and not easy to make a figure pop with such muted colours, but he does.
The first one I have seen painted and inspired basing, I can see that idea being replicated.
cheers
Richie

Beautiful work

Mobo

Many thanks my Friends !

Richie : it was a real pleasure to paint it and to be honnest it was a good excuse to get back to the Vikings show firsts seasons

Superb Franck.

I have had to put mine aside, whilst my flat is packed up to allow the windows and cladding are replaced (a whole corner of the flat is being removed and rebuild...), but I'm very much looking forward to resume work.

You've done a great job on the hair and beard. The character has quite a whispy beard, and thin hair, which must be a 'mare to sculpt, and which I'm struggling to paint convincingly. The shaved head bit looks great. Richie has done a fantastic job sculpting this character, and you've set a high bar with your brushwork.

Thank you Henk, Yes Richie's sculpt is really a great one ! Have fun painting yours when you will be able to get back to it

great stance and the crazy aura around him looks great

not sure about what you're saying but ... thank you ... i guess

Well do I speak in riddles... No wonders in an theme regarding floki... Hihhiiiiiiihiiihhiiii
Maybe I am retarded like him
Triumph of the native speakers. Iam kraut violating an foreign idiom..... Well surely it's getting worse any second hiiiiiiiihhiiiiiiiiii.

I'll have a pint of what he's having..
