Anonymous by master Alfonso "Banshee" Giraldes. Converted into a coal miner as homage to my local coal mining community and because, well, why not?
This piece has undergone several paint jobs, in itself a wonderful experience. As a learning aid which was its original intent Alfonso has really sculpted something which gives a great deal of scope to approach from an illustrative super saturated perspective or, as i have tried, a more natural realistic approach.
I hope you like it as much as i enjoyed converting an painting it!
