the facial wrinkles were more eliminated, so ,he looked a bit younger as the original.
The face is oil paint, cloths are acryl and oil , also the Shield.
Hope you like it.
Nice work. I like your choice to go with the white head-dress. I own one. I always hope to see someone painting it with historical accuracy. The Templar soldiers wore a white mantle.. The black one was for Templar sargeants, but then the surcoat needs to be black as well (with a red cross) and the cross is not exactly like that. I think it would look great as a Hospitaller knight with the red surcoat and the white Maltese cross (black mantle)... Still very nice version.of this well-known bust.
Thanks Maurizio, Mostly I paint WW2 or WW1 Bustes , in that case I try to paint the exact colors of the uniforms .
I always do research about that , as you can see on my other bustes on P&P.
This time it is a bust that remins me of a well known actor SC :-).
So I allowed myself to paint the bust in the colors that I found a nice combination in my fantasie.
Thanks for the historical explanation that I did not know
Hello Luc,
fantastic painting work!
Very authentic, as you have painted the pollution and what I like, that you have smoothed the forehead wrinkles. I did not come up with this idea in my painting of the figure, although I found the forehead wrinkles unnaturally pronounced.
Very nice, too, as you have tinted the white, it is here by living.
Gold!!!
Thanks Jason,I appreciate your kind words, because your skin colors are one of the best on this forum.
I like your realistic style sommething that I try to do also.

Very nice job! I'm pretty sure this bust was modelled on Sean Connery in 'The Wind and the Lion'...it does paint up well!Laurent Aubry aka Pisco
I like this version so much. The work on the forehead is really original !Theodoros Giannakopoulos
The weathering, the battle damages, the dirt and dust, everything is depicted. Gold for you, Luc.
