From AnneO'L-28mm Dirty Harry Curtgeld (20 points)

When I saw the theme for this years Challenge, I didn't have to think long about what figure I would choose to pay the toll with.  So my Curtgeld for this year is Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan in the film "Dirty Harry"

The figure is from Hasslefree, stands at 28mm and was sculpted by Kev White.






The face is so well sculpted, I chose to shoot a close up that would show how well Kev did the cut of the cheek bones, the hard angles of the jaw, the deep set eyes and the raised brows.  The face, combined with the stance, give the figure real attitude.  

This figure is worth a massive five points.

I can't rightly close this post without including a clip from the movie with those now famous lines...


 

Lovely, lovely stuff Anne.  No question about it that's Dirty Harry all right.  Really, really nice work on the colours.  The red sweater and the light shoes give great contrast to the drab tweed jacket and pants.  That's a fine bit of Curtgeld and worth every one of its 20 points.  Incidentally Curt, might I suggest a vote for the best Curtgeld to add to your schedule for next year?

  22. There is a good application for the Writers' Style - is the impossibility of writing otherwise. "Looking at the works of Anna realize that this is true. It is valuable when you see the work with painting miniatures that convey the style of the artist. It can be mistaken for Tyler and Aeolus, but can not be confused with anybody, Anna. Thank you very much for the opportunity to see such work.
