I've started work on his coat, poppers and necklaces next - then his arms. Got a lot of other bits to work on in the mean time though, so this project is going on hold for a bit.
Your too kind Andrea. I spent ages collecting lots of reference material, which is the key to capturing a good likeness. I also tried painting the face and it looked terrible, like an angry Oompaloompa - so I sprayed it back to grey and now I'm scared to try again! As I mentioned I have some other stuff to work on first, then I'll revisit Tallahassee. Might have to get someone to paint it for me?
I cannot understand how you do that! How does it look EXACTLY like him. You are freakily talented.

ReplyDeleteThank you Zombie, glad you took time to visit my blog. I was looking at Tallahassee last night, with a view to getting him started again soon.
