discussion Down of the Samurai ;;

[monica]

well I,m calling this guy all but done,


he was not without his challengers,but a long build/paint,


all the art work is hand painted and did my best,


you will notices he is a little red in color in his face,and that is done


to show his bloods up,as he has his weapon draw,


I keeped the base and background very simple as its him on show not the rest,


i know i can do with improvement with face painting,but that all will come with time,


gave him a good slog,and I,m quite happy with the outcome,:


hope you all like him,


and any comments most welcome,

I know what you mean Moni. I was asked to enter my work and kept putting it off, then I did and got shot down by a judge. I don't do it anymore, at first it was I was angry but now it is just I cannot be bothered, saying that, I probably would re-enter and not give two hoots about it-just do it for a laugh.


Problem with me I was egged on how good my models looked etc and although they went down well the judge pulled me up on small details. If you are just showing then go for it Moni.

 

[Guest]

Top work Moni red is not the easiest colour to do but you've pulled it off very well.

 

[monica]

i do understand what your saying and get that who feeling of it,


and i think on hear people say what there think about your work,as well,


I would like to do it one,day,not thinking my works not good for them to eye over,its that im a female,and it just dose


not go down well in a male zone,


I show him today at the shop i go too ,which is full of people and most liked him,and the way it was done,and even


the light horseman,as well,which was liked,and i get things pointed out,that may be wrong,


but that's the whole reason i do it,then i can pickup on my faults,


like today with the hat of the horseman was not the right size which was good to be told as the guy who said it


even has pic,s of him in uniform, with his hat on so that was sorted,and lucky as well,


thats why i liking going to Nic,s for a chat and show,i do real enjoy it,


and pickup tips of the lads in the shop,untill i need a fag lol ,and get a free coffee,
