Latest In-Progress

I may be done with Gene's head.  Of course, that's not a definite until the varnish goes on.  My brushes have a tendency to wander.....

The flash really took out the darks around the eyes.
Speaking of eyes, Richard had said that previously he looked "surprised."  I toned down the lights in his eyes (made it more like the photo instead of arty-farty tricks).  I do think it looks better, and agreed that there was just something off about it.
After the head, which seemed to take an eternity, I moved as far away as I could and started blocking out the butt spots.  Blocked in from the top down, getting refined from the legs up.
