I'm seeing a bit of Jake Lynch in your style, the painting of Finny is incredibly good.

Thanks for your kind words, everyone, and thanks especially to Eamonn for posting them for me*.

Hope you all had a good Paddy's Day.

* The embarrassing truth is that i was banned for a week, having missed a sticky that warned us not to use a particular word. In my defence, it was about Nigel Farage, but fair enough, rules is rules.

I though that particular word was part of his full formal name?  Or at least it should be.

Great work, Jayzus, even more impressive in person  - some of your best ever, especially the Finny.

Funny you should say that: saw a lad taking a selfie with Joyce and Dredd today. Sadly someone has taken exception to the number of links in the chain of Finnegan's minigun and cracked that window... Sic transit gloria Sinister.

I noticed that crack yesterday!  I like to think it was a bullethole, and thus in keeping ;)

Great work. Looks like a tricky exercise to have to paint highlights first and then build up the painting foreground to background from the inside. Almost like painting giant sized animation cells. Guess you are used to that though.

(Unless of course you are painting these from the outside, which would mean I am talking a load of old tosh.)

Thanks, SS! No, you're right - it's from the inside; highlights first.  And yeah, I'm probably more used to that than 'normal' painting nowadays.
