WELL IT'S NOT THE TATE

 Have finished all the portraits for my client, there are 10 in total, 5 male, and 5 female, I've also done it as 5 oval frames, and 5 rectangles, just to add some variation, and also varied the styles of frame as well. You will also notice two of the pictures are ripped, this was my clients request, and loved them, but wished he knew what the whole picture looked like ! LOL


This part of the commission is now complete, but still got a seat, and some stairs to do, so more to come, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

  2. Very nice work, Dave - the portraits all look fantastic. Love the uniqueness and details on each of them. Funny thing in these days of high quality mass produced models, toys, etc most people have no idea what it takes to do something like this!

    1. Thank you Azazael, you are right, in this world now, everything is so easily accessible, with so many different options available, that actual building and painting of takes a lot of work.

  3. These came out really well, even the ripped one :) I think these will add a lot of flavor to terrain whether it be a house, castle, or anything really!

    1. Thank you Suber, and they certainly do, storing them face down at the moment, so I don't feel like I'm constantly being watched ! LOL
