El Markes - finished piece

After long months of pain and sorrow, and some swearing, I managed to finish Mr Markes.
It's hard to believe but he was almost ready for few months now, I simply couldn't bring myself to finish him and put on the shelf. Mostly due to his weirdly sculpted chest... and hair...
I seriously doubt I'd like to paint another one. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy any other of their busts or miniatures online.
But anyway, El Markes is finished:D And I'm quite happy with some of elements of this paint job. Especially the hat and freehand on it.
And what do you think about Mr Markes? Do you like it at all?

El Markes - almost there

Yet another bust is almost finished.
Few more little things that need to be fixed, and I can put him on the shelf marked as 'finished'.
Not my best work, that's for sure, but I'm still happy that I managed to paint it.

El Markes - this time solo

Another quick update of my latest bust, El Markes by Tale of War. This time without Bombel trying to devour poor little fella.

Still lots to do, and work is more haotic than usually (some random pieces are still in really early/wtf is happening here??, stage). But I'm rather happy with the face, leather elements and freehand on the hat, I even like the yellow bandana. Hair and the cloak are still pain in the neck, I might repaint it at some point. But what colour should I choose for the cloak? What do you think? Brown, more or less like a hat, red or maybe green?

Inspector Bombel strikes again, or new mini on the table.

Here are the photos of the new bust I'm working on at the moment. As you can see, Inspector Bombel is working on it as well (on his own twisted way of course;p)

This is El Markes, lovely pirate bust from Tale of War. Again no scale given, but the bust has 25mm to the eye level and 55mm to the top of the hat.
Mini is in pretty early stage at the moment. And I'm struggling with the blue and hat, but I must say, I do enjoy painting this little fella. If I'm lucky and my painting mojo won't abbandon me suddenly, I should be able to finish this bad boy before Sunday.

cheers
