Ah... yep. That one! Personally, I think the 2 best figure painters out there are Diego and Young B. Song. I like Diego's better though because they aare dirty, have a really war-weary apperance.Song's are more on the clean side...

1 comment, what Diego did so well, was he has dust and dirt below the goggle line, and then where the goggles would usually be, the flesh doesn't have much. Anyway, that is killer!

Thank you Steve and Boba Fett. This was one well sculpted bust and makes painting easier when the face is as expressive as it is...

I think the only version of that I've seen that's better was done by Diego Ruina...

Thanks Huxy!

For the skin, I started with Citadel dark flesh, followed by washes of black, drybrushing of medium flesh, a wash of dark flesh, and more drybrushing with tanned and light flesh over the face. The stubble was Vallejo uniform gray used as a wash and applied a few times to darken the chin and cheeks.
