I recently picked a brush after a 10 year absence from painting.
Retirement has finally given me the time to resume hobbies.
This forum has gone a long way to renewing my passion for painting.

Looks superb to me.

Thats looking nice Tom, he does look the part, nice paint!

Ron

Nice job ,think I will have to put this guy on my to do list!

Very realistic paintwork.
After 10 years absence, I believe you still have it.

excellent particularly the weathering on hat and cloak I like the subtle introduction of highlight colours to these items of clothing

I like very much his face! good job!

Really well done.
That just may be my problem. Maybe I need to stop for about 10 years or so.
