Wow - this is just astounding work. Not only is this one of the best samurais I've seen here, it's one of the best figures I've seen here, period. Truly amazing work.

Could not have said it better Phil!!

Simply jaw dropping work Alex.

Cheer's,
Jeff.

Simply wonderful!!!

Beautiful artwork, you are one of those painters who will take a difficult subject and do an extreme paint job on it, I would not have the patience to see that through, how long did it take you from you opened the box and please tell me that you had lots of corrections to perform in order to get the detail into the painting. I could spend hours just looking at this figure.
You must be over the moon with the end result.

Perfect I wanted to paint so

You really show your superb painting skill on this figure.
Outstanding.

Excellent work....... the details are beautiful and well done.......

Cheers

I agree with all the above, it is a stunning figure and your paint has made it so much better.

Mindnumbingly and gloriously beautiful.

Hi Terry

It took around 100 to 120 hours total I would say.
The figure was never stripped or anything like that. The main color scheme was in my head from the start. Then some research to find the proper patterns, textures, etc. Was not sure about the belts at the end but it came to me one night while sleeping !
I paint like I draw which means you always go from a diffuse painting to a more precise thing, adjusting the shapes all the time, values, the degree of highlights and shadows until you are satisfied. I can say that I am in a 'second state' when I paint sometimes even if I am completely sober And you should never leave the brush down until you are totally happy with the result.
Now it feels so good because I will start a 'new' figure this week !!

Fantastic work!

Magnificent.

Chris
