"If you were born in a stable, does not make you a horse" He hated being referred to as Irish. They also changed their name from Wesley to Wellesley to distance themselves from the methodists, who were I believe related. They had some serious hangups.
Nice work Nap.

Nah but he's still Irish, mind you so we're a lot of the British Army generals.

Cheers Simon
 
Brilliant work Kev that garter star is superb, you paint such large busts but still excel in the small detail, great work.

Cheers Simon

Thanks Simon ....it’s a bit OCD with me on detail ...but HEY!! ....it’s great fun

Brilliant!

Oda.

Extremely light and subtle skin tones as befits an Irish Gentleman. Really like this one.
Cheers Simon

It was tempting to push the shadows and the highs

Thanks ....there’s a little change soon

Here we go .......

I kept looking at the portraits of the man and then at various versions painted ...in particular the area above the what will be crimson bow on the Golden Fleece order

Then looked at the sculpt .......it just drove me crazy I could find nothing 100% relating to the sculpted area in portraits or any where else to the way it’s sculpted ie references to the actual award .......so ......

I’d base coated the piece before deciding to change it
E71FF635-0B57-4964-A517-7607195C27FC.jpeg

Added a extremely thin piece of magisculpt ....after some careful sanding ..then added the top piece
8B4148CE-237B-4851-A935-7AD58277738F.jpeg

Then added the lower side scrolls

Added detail in the top

Reworked the shell shape
83DF73A2-8A18-4F38-A2B5-1B7471F01A96.jpeg

In reality doesn’t look too bad I’m happy

I will detail using paint effects ...no need to leave while alone before I finish this bust off

Yes...I know ....mad as a box of frogs ...lol

Unfortunately I think you have modelled the Austrian version rather than the Spanish one, sorry.
Nothing that a bit of paint won't sort out as they are very close.
