Check out the photographs of Laura Sheridan on which this is based. Trying NMM. This is the result of day one, mostly focused on the face.

I'm liking it.

Lovely work on the face. Have fun with the NMM, not an effect I like at all but having said that it's beyond my skill level anyway!

Really nice face and the armour is looking good, looking forward to seeing your progress.

Cheers Simon

That's coming together well.

Great job on the NMM. That's not easy to do.

You've made an excellent start on this, even at this stage the NMM is looking good.

I agree, great progress.

I take it this is the photo you were on about. Following with interest.

So with "Saturday Morning" done... back to this. This NMM thing has a steep learning curve! Going to see if I can get that right before I go too deep on the other parts. If anyone has any good tutorials to suggest, let me know!

A bit more…

Thanks Nap! I particularly liked the second one!

She looks pretty good as is, very stylised and arty.

Cheers Simon

The AK book figure painting FAQ with Kirill Kanaev is an excellent book and covers NMM in enormous detail.
Coming on leaps and bounds

I feel like I’ve read that section of his book a thousand times. It doesn’t sink in until you’ve actually done it a hundred times

He makes it look so easy and effortless. It is beyond me...besides and don't tell anyone... I don't really like it.. I appreciate the art and skill but it is all to shiny for my taste. Armour is generally not that shiny especially on campaign. Yours on the other hand is shaping up to be more realistic.

Hello Matt. What brand is this bust please? I didn't know it and I find it very interesting.....
