discussion Captain Ahab !! 28mm

[monica]

well calling this one all done,


I,m happy with it,


but don't like the camera,very much will pickup all what my eyes miss,


the lines do need to be a bit bold so you can tell whats an arm,leg and so on,


so that's the use for them,as its not real meant to be looked t right on top of it,


well that's what I,m saying


and with tunnel vision,you do tend to miss a little as well,and at this size well not the easyest things in the world to paint,


well I do hope you enjoy it


all comments most welcome,

You might be unhappy about bits of this Moni, but I think it's marvellous!


The figure painting is awesome, especially in this scale & the sea is very good. I like your signature kitty cat, although I know mine wouldn't stay in the boat!


You should investigate schools in your area - I bet they'd love to display your stuff to illustrate the learning - maybe not the half naked ladies though!

Excellent build Monica. I do like the multi coloured clothes. In fact I like everything about this....My favourite has to be the tattoos on Queekqueg's face!


Top work as usual.

I have to agree with the guys above comments it's another true masterpiece from you Monica and don't see the problem with the photography from where I'm viewing. Love the water felt with the waves and the colours depth and realism of white water. The whale looks very authentic and the boat crew with so much activity going on you have to take another look or two!!


Love the signature puddy tat too


Worthy of an awesome build............ But then again it's Monica and she produces nothing less


Kind regards

Lovely work Monica.


I do have to agree with you about the camera, it always seems to reveal the smallest mistakes.

Another Moni special! Easily up to your usual standards but I was a bit confused by the two guys in the middle of the boat. They're facing the wrong way to row!

I think he has jumped over to try and pull backwards a bit , plus that's seamed the only spot to put him,will check on Friday if I did cock it up,


I know the picks not the best,but it dose show one facing the other way,
