Hello,

Ali Pasha from Tepelena, Governor of Ionannina was the life long enemy of Ibrahim Pasha, Governor of Valona and at last he managed to taken prisoner him. Ali Pasha's aggression caused his end following circumstances and Ottoman Sultan send an army over him and taken his head...

After very very short brief information about Ali Pasha, I would like to share my new project. It will be the same like my previous try, a conversion to full figure.



Thanks for looking,
Serhan.

That's a great challenge you do to yourself.

Marc

Thank you Marc.

Actually I have encountered some anatomical problems with this implement and will rework with new approach.. Waist of bust was so narrow and natural fit of the long overall did not came nice to my eye.. It has to be more larger fit onto upper body..

I will rework back side of the bust with milliput and rework down part again. Long coat will not seen like stretched to the body from back...

Nice try and a very difficult one.
Once I converted a we german pilot to a full 200mm figure and it was one of the most difficult projects i ve ever done.
Good luck with this one , i am pretty sure you re gonna have a great result!

Hello ,

I remodeled back with Milliput. I will use Sculpey for lower body...

Thank you Fokion.

I done first cook of the lower body part. Fine detailing will follow and I will cook it again.

When sculpting dough is big bulk, it is not easy to apply force for shaping and detailing. This breaks details and main shape priorly done.

That is why I cooked it after some shaping. Now bulk will keep it shape and I can easly apply forces in all directions where I want..

Thanks for looking.

Hello,

Here some painting wip photos..

Serhan-

He is coming along great Serhan and a very interesting character. (I've been doing some reading. )
I am sure I have recently seen a flat of him.

Hello Roger.

Thanks for your comments. Yes he was very strange, tricky, powerfull and cunning personality ruled in Ottoman era of Greece.. Flat of him?? Never saw or heard..

..but the most suitable pose of him for flat is when he was riding in a boat, I was seen in one of portrait of him.

Serhan-

Found it! Not exactly the same but when I saw the painting on the Ali Pasha wikipedia page I knew I had seen something the same or very similar.
