Early morning progress.

I gammoned him up by 50%.

Anymore and I fear he’d try and join UKIP.

Bigger or smaller than you thought?

Much smaller. Makes it even more impressive. Really good work.

What I love about this hobby is it keeps you honest. When you think you are doing well someone shows you something that absolutely blows you away.

Yours is great Rob.

[robemcdonald]

Thanks...

I decided to do a bit more tonight.

[robemcdonald]

I appreciate that it’s all looking a bit rough at the moment, but I’m just trying to block in the colours with oils at the moment. I’ll refine everything later.
I appreciate this probably isnt the way the artisans do it, but as stated I’m making this up as I go. Also I don’t think my £12 set of oil paints is particularly helpful as they aren’t particularly opaque.

I did some work on the jacket and a bit more tidying up.
It’s not too bad so far.

The slow road to completion continues.... slowly.

Time to think about the mask.

[robemcdonald]

I made some real progress tonight adding a fair few of the additional parts.

I still need to add shading to the mask and tidy up the harness a little more, but if I get a couple of hours tomorrow I might be able to finish it.

I’m getting close to finishing this now and I need a little help.

I need some sort of base / stand. Does anyone have any recommendations?

[robemcdonald]

Last parts added, just some tidying up to do.

[robemcdonald]

I’m going to say it’s done, cant guarantee that I’m done tinkering.

Some (better?) pictures.

Well if i was as good as you at artwork, i would get one of those little slow moving rotary tables on the eshop, the ones they use for displaying jewellery/watches, quite cheap to. Would look good whist turning and cast different shadows

I think it’s great rob apart from the fur collar, it now looks a bit over weathered making it look a bit brittle and rigid, I think the fur should look a bit more uniformed in colour and texture and plush

[robemcdonald]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m not quite finished tinkering with it yet. I will add that to the list.
