Dragon Mother - Goodfellas

#1 Post by Ant »

This was an unexpected but much cherished Christmas present from Kathy - been taking my time to do her justice. A real pleasure to paint and truly excellent likeness!

Big fan of the tie-in between her eyes and cloak and the subtle marbling on the base. Very pretty piece.

WOW! From top to bottom this is an incredible paint-up.

The marble base looks very realistic. Her hair looks soft. Gorgeous flesh tones and her make-up is superb. Her eyes are beautiful.

Might I suggest some subtle shading on her clothing to accentuate the folds of the dress as well as the depth and movement of the cloak.

An outstanding paint-up.

Thanks for all the kind words folks!

Zephyr - there actually is quite a bit of shading on the clothing, both in the folds and to accent the sculpted in surface texture - but it doesn't show up as well in the photos as in real life..

Ant this is absolutely perfect!! You really did our kit so beautifully....well done!

Kathy was a complete pleasure to work with, very glad she reached out to me and even more so after seeing how well you did with her!

Snow's head, body and base have been molded, just need to finish up on arm and sword. Our painter, Saul, has already added some color. I will show you a pic in a bit.

Had the pleasure of viewing this 'in the flesh' at the weekend, and if you think it looks good in the photos, it is outstanding in 'person' :bow:

Thanks Dave!

I was chuffed to take first place in "Busts" in the compo today - although there wasn't a huge amount of competition due to stupid British weather severely hampering attendance to the show. But a win's a win :)

A well earned win IMHO.
