Jeeezz !! Just look at the sculpting around the neck area alone, can't these boys just sculpt and paint or what, this one ranks alongside the recently released Pegaso bust of similar era.Just summit else.

Very Nice!

FYI,
"Goguryeo or Koguryŏ (Korean pronunciation: [koɡuɾjʌ])
was an ancient Korean kingdom located in present day
northern and central parts of the Korean Peninsula,
southern Manchuria, and southern Russian Maritime province.

The English word "Korea" derives from "Goryeo", which in
turn was named after Goguryeo"
(from wikipedia)

great info Taesung, thanks!

Very unusual subject and a great choice, lots of different challenges for the figure painter.Fantastic work on both the sculpting and painting.


Cheers David

Haha I knew today is a Young new release day. I tell myself that everyday...

Love it love it love it!

Oh there's great history round that region and the nice thing is that the Mongols/Koreans/Ancient Japanese and Chinese dynasties were all unique in their own way, European Midieval armour was basically the same with very little difference between type/variation and even a couple of manufacturers who made for many, very nice to paint these periods,challenging indeed as Korean is not Japanese and so on - I am busy with MIGS bust right now.

Great face, super details - winner!
