Hi pF,

Completed this bust and would like to seek your comments and critique. As always, all feedback are appreciated

I can't fault it

Well done! I favor the face and really like the shield.



Steve Deyo

Excellent.

Rompy, I think you outdid yourself !!

Joe

You know.......I've have looked at this for a long time and questioned the eyes and the color of the bears fur.But everthing flows together and I like that.In fact your paint job makes this at the top of the list for me to give it a go......Excellent creativity with the paint.......Regards......Wayne....
Another thing I noticed on the sculpt is the band around the left arm....If he were to flex ;something has got to give......such a picky bunch..sorry......still a great piece of painting

Thanks all

I did struggle over the color of the eyes initially But tried to adopt this. (Great series, Vikings, if you have not seen it )

Nailed it in your own way.........Wayne

I like it very much. I would have made deeper-darker shadows to enhance the contrast, but that's me. Using photo shop to deepen the shadows to give you an idea of what I mean.
Nice painting. Beautiful work.

Thanks pgarri27

Will look into incoporating this for future works tks !

Truly incredible blue Rompy. I've done given up on trying to emulate a perfect way to paint faces. I'm going back to my proven method of flesh tones, etc. Your flesh tones are so subtle in realism, perfect from what I'm seeing. Great work Buddy, once again! Time to get back to the bunker and get er done!

Cheers, Ski.

P.S. Being an oiler is proving to be a challenge, but I'll crack that egg, ya know it. There's more than one way to skin a bald cat.

Only minor nit pick is the blue on the tattoo is a little too vivid but that's about it, if it wasn't in Brutal I wouldn't have mentioned it
Steve

Good Point Helm, i should glaze it with some flesh tone

I agree the tattoo is a bit bright - but really like the way you have brought in the blue colour all over the figure. A very thoughtful paint job.
Cheers

Rompy, you have done a lovely job on this piece, lots of hues and shades to absorb.

Regards,


Mark

Nice work,love that shield, 2 thumbs up from me

regards Zane

A cracking paint job. That's us got a superb references to add to the box art and Brians versions.
All completely different in style and all top class work.
Lying on the bench at the moment, I'm going to start it at the end of the week
Cheers
Derek

Yea Derek,I think this piece allows for a few variations.....Can't say the same as with Andrea "Viking Fury" although I do like that piece.......Paint on and hopefully not paint off...............Regards....Wayne

Thanks guys, this is a great piece to work on.

Looking forward to seeing WIP pictures soon
