Here is the latest on the torso. After a zenithal highlight I used a blue tensocrom wash from Lifecolor. Adding blue to the flesh colours to give him a cold look.

And the tiredness you painted under his eyes looks so good. This bust is defo in the right hands...I like it more than the boxart head.

Armorguy I agree with you about the box art. It is far too clean. I want a dirty, cold ragged look.
