And here I show you a Bust i buyed in a local giftshop. For 5 Euros.
I did a repaint an some pics for progress.
The last five pics where the finished one.
That’s a fun piece for me Acrylics and oils.
Feel free to comment.
















That where a box for coins, in German we said Sparbüchse.. to save money.

What a transformation.
It looks great. This is a great idea to purchase something like this
and then repaint it.
The flesh tones are great.

Thanks for sharing.

Roger.

Really Great work!

Joe

Wow! That's really well done!

Well done Stephan, very good painting

Stephen, Great paintwork, such a transformation and the base really sets it off.
Cheers Ken

Agree with all of the above....

Great stuff!

Is the scar on the cheek a fresh one, or one that is healing? (ie a few days old, or a a couple of weeks)

I ask because the colours give it a mix of older the fresh, newer the healed....

Which is a good effect, don't think I've ever seen one between fresh & dribbling blood and a scar that is old and fully healed

Cheers

PS- when I first saw the title, I thought that you had converted the 'Seven Dwarfs' from Cinderella into a pirates!!!......hmm Idea coming up

Super transformation! You took this inexpensive souviner and turned it into a show piece. Fun stuff!

Hello
again thanks for the words.
The scar should be an older one, but I dont wont to change it.
and indeed the 5 Euros will spend good.
My son gets a other one too, maybe I can get it from him to repaint......

Wow! It's rock!
great work...

regards from Italy...and happy painting!
Andrea
