[Guest]

Hello Gents, I found this busts online and could not wait to slap paint on it. it is painted all in acrylics and I took the liberty to paint the Medic emblem on the helmet. I wanted to give her a young innocent look so I decided to try my hand at some freckles. Not sure if I like them but I will keep them on her. got some more painting to do on her but the face is done. Hope you all like her. I could not find a larger picture of the original I am sorry.

Hi Rick
That is very nice. I personally love the freckles. Figure painting, to me, is a dark art and female skin tones/faces are the hardest. You have nailed it.

Nice work, I love the freckles too it brings some real personality to the model. Makes her look like a girl next door type far from home.
