Hi Friend's.


Finished this yesterday.


This is the Verlinden 200mm bust.


Painted with oils over an acrylic base coat.


The metallic were painted with a mixture of GW and Tamiya acrylics with GW washes/shades.


Had fun with this.


All the best.


Ralph.

Fantastic work Ralph , i envy anyone who can figure paint . The flesh tones and 5 o clock shadow are superb , top work. as for the eyes ,I reckon he just doesnt like looking down at his lack of a torso or legs , it makes him feel inadequate!! cheers tony

Great painting wish i could paint like that.

Superb, I could only dream of producing that, wow.

 

[Guest]

Im in awe of all you lot who are able to paint flesh and faces, and clothing! This looks fantastic!


I can slap paint on a tank, and make it look passable, but if i tried doing this, he wouldnt look drunk, he would look half dead!

Amazing paint work Ralph, he looks very lifelike so mission accomplished. I don't think he looks drunk, more of a bored look

Bored of sitting for yet another portrait

Beautiful paint job, but I have to agree with everyone else, it looks like he is either drunk or rolling his eyes because he has been told a subordinate has done something incredibly stupid again.
