Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD
Thanks so much for the detailed review of the work. I really appreciated that you noticed all the details. I was nervous to paint for such a big fan of Bond but also flattered. So again I'm so happy you like it and can't wait to see more pics
Phenomenal! My sad little camera can't capture how it comes across in hand and at scale.
As I told Jake, it's just so hard to truly appreciate the work when you're going by enlarged photos with flat light and lens distortion and everything else that occurs... and I don't mean you can't appreciate the details, in fact, the larger the picture the better you can see the clean lines, etc... but what I mean is sort of the opposite: the fact that Jake can do this kind of work on something so damn small is a small miracle. And a blessing for fans like me.
This head truly looks alive with incredible attention to the details: the eyes glisten with that Connery 'twinkle' -- the 5 o'clock shadow -- the slightly ruddy cheeks -- the brown highlights in the hair giving it texture. And the difference between the skintone vs. the slightly shinier hair vs. the wet eyes. It's a small wonder. On top of everything, it makes you appreciate BBKill's sculpt so much more because of the detail Jake's brought out.
So yes... it met my expectations. And then some. And then more.

Can't wait to see the finished product.
Full pics coming shortly. I'm eager to see the full figure myself.
