Painted Obi-Wan Kenobi Bust!

[Chewie15]

Finally.. Just finished with my 1:1 commissioned Old Ben bust this morning

I tried shooting these with my new camera and I still have a lot to learn about it... that's why I shot some outside, the indoor shots were just too dark to show off any details in the skin work.

Let me know what you all think

That wasnt very nice.

:lol


I've really been lookin forward to seein this painted up. As usual you did not disapoint.

Great likeness. You're right about the indoor pics. You do loose the detail more. Alec looks like he got a facelift. Took ten years off. :lol Outdoors where you can see the details it looks more like the Obi Wan we all know and love.

WOW. Incredible work Howard.

By the way, how did you acheive such a nice dull skin like finish with the paint? Dulling spray? Which product? Thanks.

The Force is strong with this one.

Incredible job.

Wow - looks stunning. I think his hair should be grayer though so it isn't so contrasted against his skin.

 

[Lord of the props]

I just couldn´t resist :lol

 

[Simmon M]

The hair just photoed super contrasting... it's much more subtle in person.

Speaking of painting hair, my next piece will have real hair punched... man I hate painting and sculpting hair..

Bjorn, you really should stay away from the photoshop :lol
