The perfect sculpture!

On Sunday the 26Th of July our daughter was born! We are very happy and proud to finally hold her in our arms. Of Course we hadn't much sleep the last days but this will get better. Mother and daughter are doing great!
Noa weights 3200 gram and is 49 cm long, a beauty!!

As you expect I didn't had time to do modelling these days but when everything is settled down I will continue of course.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Dragoon painting update

The face and the bearskin are almost finished now, only some minor corrections are needed. Furthermore I have painted the green basecolor on the jacket and roughly the highlights and shadows. Also the red and yellow colored parts are painted. Now I'm in the process of blending the highlights and shadows, adding some small folds here and there and do the outlining. This is always time consuming but worth the effort in the end. Here are some pictures of the front and back.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Starting to paint the Dragoon

I started with the paintjob on the Dragoon and this is a picture of a very early stage. Most blending work was done on the face, this time I used besides my usual mixtures some additional filters of some red and pinkish colors. Still have to do some corrections on the skin and eyes. And I have to paint the hair, lips and ears. The rest of the colors are just basecoated with some highlights except of the bearskin. The next steps are to finish the face and adding shadows of the other colors and start blending them.

Cheers,
Marcel.
