thats looking good

Thank you guys. Yes, Nap, it's fun!

Goggles, wet blending.

Lovely work Marcin.

A hat's on its place, at least now I can paint it ready, comparing it to the whole - it will be easier for me this way. From the original wand I will only use the head - the handle, because it seems too long to me and I am afraid of losses after placing the whole bust on a plinth (transport, etc.). I took a toothpick for now, tomorrow I will check if the welding wire is better.

Alas, I don't have any in my stash... But I think you'll be happy with the effect

No. It'll be something different. But I can't say nothing for now.

Well, I think I can start painting the second version - "after work". Beautiful, just look at this face, stigmatized with pain..., and life style...





Another style of the mask, this one'll be from leather. As it's supposed to look old and worn out, I'll remove a few rivets.




Keep safe.

The bust is mounted on pedestal, it's easier to work with rod now. Ushabti bone mixed with some sand yellow.


Primered...


M.

Well, how about this? I decided to look at the topic a little differently than before... The paints I used: skarsnik green, bieltan green (wash), agrax earthshade (2nd wash), light yellow (highs)...




As for the mask and coat, they'll be brown I think...

I've been asleep again.....
Excellent job on number one Marcin. I like your take on the face of number two - makes it a bit more sinister and scary.

Phil

Ha!
I'm glad I made a surprise!
Traces of fighting a pandemic... It is obvious that the plague air penetrated the mask and the herbs in its beak did not help much. Right eye will have endosperm. I also need to improve shadows and color transitions.


Stay safe!

Yep - looking good! I forgot to ask - there seems to be a rat in the pics of the parts, or am I seeing things?

Phil

Just noticed - the rodent appears to fit in his right cuff. On that subject I remember some years ago we were visiting Norwich Cathedral to see the Edith Cavell memorial. We bumped into a young couple, the girl of whom had a white rat down her cleavage (lucky rat). She told us she took him everywhere with her. My missus seems to recall his name was Riff-raff. Whatever floats yer boat I guess.

Phil

Your eyesight doesn't deceive you, I almost forgot about Jerry . I will find him and paint him at the end.



The lower part of the mask, rusty colors from AK.

Thank you, Kev.

I added a little light at the bottom to make the contrast better, tomorrow I will smooth the whole thing, but you can assume that the mask is done.

Nice effects there with the browns MarcinLookin' good
