Che.

[Jason Crausby]

Sorry about the extreme close up... but as I said to Peter Day earlier, there’s a nagging feeling when something isn’t quite right ...so I’ve made some very small adjustments to the eyes and feel much better about it!

Thanks
Jason

The eyes look very nice indeed Jason. The sculptor hasn't helped by making them different shapes, which, as you know, is pretty common with busts and figures. It's the one thing that gives me the most headaches. Well done for resolving the issue.

I think that is a very nice paintwork of Che, Jason. Skin tone is great. Very well done indeed.

Cheers,
Richard

Outstanding. The art of painting busts really is artwork at its best. A joy to see

[Jason Crausby]

Thanks again chaps!
I guess the lesson here is never to say nearly finished and it’s always the little things that take up most of the time...due to the prominence of the watch on the figure I’ve just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get it right...this is going to have to do...


Thanks
Jason

I was going to say this, but thought I must be missing something obvious Watch is excellent by the way....I can almost hear it ticking.

Wow, fantastic work Jason, ive turned my hand to busts recently to try and gauge what i like doing more..is it the painting of a figure or putting the model together etc. Your painting is very nice indeed, love the watch, that takes dedication and i bet your eyes are hurting at that detail level :smiling2:.

[Jason Crausby]

Thanks everyone...I went back and added more gold to the watch having seen the photos on the screen.I also put some gloss on the watch screen and the eyeballs.....in terms of where the watch goes see below...I think that’s about it in terms of painting...just got to get him on a plinth and it’s finished!



Thanks

Thanks very much Peter... and all completed in under a week... sadly the stash is now pretty much depleted!

Thanks I'm... I'm surprised I'm still ticking after holding my breath trying to do that watch!

Thanks Matt... in this case there wasn't much to put together just the figure and then the hand!

[Jason Crausby]
