Beautiful concept, pose and detailing. The ear seems a tad misplaced though. Look for where the earcanal is compared to the zygomatic bone. Otherwise an absolute gem, would love to paint it.
Hi Alfonso, for me higher Art of sculpting is when a miniature has characker and expression. You did all this in awonderfull way in this sculpted vision.
Thank you a lot for posting

Gracias. La pierna mecanica se añadio despues de sacar las fotos pprqur el cliente queria un aspecto mas steampunk y pidio una pata mecanica. A mi tambien me gusta mas la pata de palo. :)
Wow!. Thanks roman. I am crying. ;). Is very nice to work arround those subjects that are not warriors or monsters... my mind works better when I can support the character on top of a strong story. Capt ahab is a character that fit very well with us. Someone that spend his life looking for something that he already know that is almost impossible to catch.. in a very stubborn way.. he look for his perfection. Same as any good artist should do. He is a character that i feel linked to.. i dont know if this make sense.. jejeje
Para mí es uno de tus mejores trabajos. Aunque no me gusta lo steampunk, se compensa con el romanticismo que hay intrínseco en el clásico lobo de mar, que me encanta. El porte y la presencia y naturalidad de las telas es muy bueno, quizás lo que menos me gusta es el acabado de la pipa. Pero es genial.
Yo creo que ya esculpes mejor que pintas, que ya es decir! jejeje... preciosa....una cara con carácter! no es mi tipo de figura, pero es una pasada. Felicidades!
Jajaja. No se si tomarmelo bien o mal..jajaja.gracias tio... q va.. pinto muchisimo mejor porque tengo muchisimos mas recursos.. con pintura no me atasco . Se lo q hago. Si fallo lo uyilizo a mi favor.luego otra cosa es q haga mi mejor pieza o no..q eso es mas dificil porque tb depende del proyecto y si es un reto o no.. pero con escultura todo es nuevo.m un reto a resolver con cada cosa q hago.m me siento super inseguro modelando y eso me encanta. Soy mucho peor pero me lo paso pipa. Ademas tardo mas de lo debido.. pero voy cogiendo ritmo. :)
This is such a stunning piece of work. I love how you did not overdo things or make him too violent. He looks like a sailor/fisherman that is pensively regarding the sea. Love it. You have done so much for the hobby, especially your work with Scale75. Thanks for your part in creating the best metallics the mini painting world has ever known.
