I originally painted this over the course of 2-3 months and it had numerous changes to the colour pallette throughout that process. I underestimated getting the balance right with the colours and all the faces and focal points of this bust. It was a big learning curve, particularly with a blue and orange/peachy skin tone.
I am happy where I settled on this and can call it finished. Different to my usual painting style and wanted to push with a different approach utilising warm and cool colours and visible brushstrokes which I think suits the bust, particularly around the goblin kings face giving him a sinister look.
Thanks for the guidance from Tim Marsh and Andrew Buckley on this piece. There were a couple of areas where I got stuck and their feedback was invaluable.
Onto the next one!

I think you managed to do an amazing job! I love the face of the gobling king! As well as the skin tone, which is very nicely structured and textured. And all the small gobos are very cute. I think this sculpt is just wonderful!
