Thanks to everyone for your comments and encouragement on the WIP thread.

Here are the pics of the completed bust. I hope you like it.

Classic, the colors are very dynamic and really bring this bust to life. Awesome!

Cheers, Ski.

Perfect Tony.
Like the very little sheen on the leather.
Great, great work.

Marc

Brian

Ben

Hi Tony mate,
Truely Epic bust, you certainly have your mojo back.
cheers
Richie

Beautiful painting Tony.

Coming on Tony
looking great

oh man he looks great. Nice work sir.

That's some seriously fine brushwork, on an exceptional sculpt, as well as +1 images.
I hope you feel satisfaction with the final result, notwithstanding the likelihood that you can probably show me things that are, in your overly-biased opinion, "wrong".
In this case, your otherwise valuable opinion is rendered moot, and it is our opinion, the collective Viewer, that takes the trick.
Hats are being doffed in your direction from viewers all around the Planet!
It's great to have you back!

Tony , a stunning finish congratulations.

Cheers Ken

Great result Tony,nice painting.
I'd like to see the pics with a second light source filling the shadows though.
I reckon it would look good.
Anyway, very nice work indeed.

Hi Gordy, Rob, Brian and Mark,

Again a humble thank you. I'm not worthy

Mark, I'll do my best to get some pics using a second light source, just for you
