The Man of Bronze


Pretty much done with this one.  I'll glaze the shirt when the paint is dry enough, add a couple of highlights and then varnish it.  This will be my companion piece to the George Rozen copy I did last month, "The Black Hush".  Happy enough with this and learned a lot of things, which was the point.  I'm moving on to copying a Nicolai Fechin piece next.  I'm hoping to learn a ton from that and then maybe combine some of what I've been doing into my own work.  We'll see.

Progression shots of my James Bama Doc Savage Man of Bronze homage





Still a looooong way to go to accomplish my goal of hyper(ish) detail.  After doing the George Rozen knockoff I wanted to try something that positively scared the heck outta me, copying such a detailed and highly recognizable image.  Sure, it ain't The Mona Lisa but what I can learn from this exercise is exciting.  So plug away I will, making adjustments and wondrous discoveries along the way.
