Hi Patrick,
Nice work..aaah..this figure I do not have..Ha! I believed this is sculpted by Juan Avilla. Excellent painters...
Nice flesh and composition, looks very handsome...

Wahhh ... nicely painted ... what kind of paints did you use?

Thanks Allan. Yes, sculptured and box art painted by 'his so and so' Juan Carlos Avila Ribadas.
Btw I tried a Chinese brush for most of the base layers. Dunno if it's the same as the one you recommended ( thanks ). Mine cost only RM2.20. When wet the tip is around #1 or #2. The ferrule holding the bristles is plastic and something like one you'd find on a ball point pen and there's a red label at the end of the bamboo handle. Not bad and just below the performance of a good sable in that it doesn't maintain a good point/tip just that well. Swish it in water, reload and a wipe on a rag fixes this though and you're ready to go again with a sharp tip. I can live with that......
Thanks also for your suggestion that I should try more 'cold colors'. Is it noticeable on this figure's face? There are blues, violets and even black in the mix. I believe cold colors would be best achieved with acrylics. In oils they'd be lost in the blending and go grey in areas if not careful.

Thanks ryoga. Everything was done with acrylics except for the flesh tones where oils was used.
