I thought I'd share some progress of my photojournalist. I have just started on the cameras but the rest of him is getting close to complete. I made his skin very warm to contrast with the green jacket. For some reason all the various tones and shades don't photograph well. Let me know what you think.

Whoa Mike, that looks seriously well!
How about a blue or red background? Maybe that contrasts his colours to bring some life to the pictures.

The skin tones look very nice... but I think the white hair is something that really catches the eye on this bust. Different, but really well done.

Brilliant, the white hair idea I like and gives this piece a unique look
Tommi

Yes, I still hate you!

Thanks guys! I'm glad the white hair is to your liking, he just looked to me like he needed white hair.

Nicely done Mike. You've been busy lately! I like white hair as well. The cameras look good too!

Bravo!

Cheers

Beautifully painted and the choice of colour is excellent.
Brilliantly executed all round, well done.

A different perspective well executed

I like it a lot Mike. It might be one of your best bust up to date. I like the jacket especially very much. There is only one thing that may need attention in my opinion. I am talking about eyes, you could try to bring them to live a little bit more.

Great job Mike. I like everything about this.
Cheers

Nice work ! the hair and level of contrast you have worked in is great ... maybe id tweek the eyes some more but cannot tell from the images buddy.

Great execution especially that suitable Silver Fox look

nothing to comment on....just great paintwork.

Marc

excellent painting

Very nice work Mike, your higher contrast style of painting really suits this figure it brings a bit of life to the figure.
Looking forward to seeing the finish.
