A very lucky collector. That's a beautifully painted bust.

Hi Ernest, that's a fantastic paint job, you have painted realistic character onto this piece of cast resin and brought him to life, a great talent.

Fantastic job on this bust Ernest!
I have a uestion regards your photography.
What settings are you using to achieve the overall focus on your subject?
I understand the idea that the angle of the bust makes a difference as in the sword being closer to the lens than the figure.
I have included some images of my own and am struggling to achieve what you have obviously sorted out.
I shoot with a Nikon D3200 with a 19-200 lens and extension tubes so getting close to the subject is not an issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep up the amazing painting.
Jonathan

Very nicely painted .... and a very lucky collector.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hello guys and thanks for all your comments, very welcome

Jonathan my camera is a Nikon D5100 I guess is similar to yours, my setting is Manual, ISO 200, AF-S, central focus, no flash, white balance in auto and I always use a tripod with ten second of temporary shot, my set is very simple, 2 white bulbs from top to bottom (right and left side) a backdrop I bought from here http://www.hangar18miniatures.com/photo-backdrops/?sort=newest

Jonathan/Ernest to hell with that guys, that's sounds like another expensive hobby with a lot of tech in there, Ill just use my phone lol.

Excellent job !

Wow... Breathtaking paintwork, great job !!!

Cheers Borek

Absolutely superb painting on this one. Makes me want to go out and get one of my own.

I use it too, but when you have to take pictures for a book or magazine the best is to use a decent camera

Holy crap - just amazing - the skin tones and nuances are just wonderful

Phil

Amazing work as always Ernest!

And thanks for info on your photography settings.
