Great great work ! It is the exact painting, amazing model !
But the “cardinal Richelieu” is in red, not in pink, I think your color has too much desaturation.
Very nice indeed! Beautiful detail, but I agree with Langelot, the color did strike me as a little pale. Still, a masterpiece.

Wonderful work! Just lovely! I especially love the brocade and lace work! Bravo! Top Row! Cheers, David 
Beautiful work.
It almost looks like a painting and not a 3d image. I say that as a positive thing.
You are definitely a ZbrushMaster
Keep up the great work.
Paul.
Wow, thank you guys! Your words are really flattering!
I agree with you about the colour remarks that you made and I might have to revisit that. It’s an easy fix though 
Cheers
Nice work. The modelling and attention to detail are fantastic but for me the final image does not work so well I’m afraid. Because you have changed the lighting and lost the deep shadows, the values and composition have changed. Without the negative space behind him, Richelieu no longer seems the main focus but feels like he is falling off to the left following his hand. The detail in the curtain top right is also drawing attention away (in the original, this and other aspects of the background are painted relatively loosely compared to Richelieu).
I know you started this as a modelling exercise, which you accomplished with aplomb, but if you like you could now also turn it into a study of how lighting and values affect composition.
Thank you Bonecradle! That was very constructive and it is definitely something I shall work on
I have not seen the original painting so I don’t know if this is how it was painted or not - but when you look at the size of the head compared to the body - the body seems too tall. It looks a lot taller than the standard eight heads high. He looks like he is standing on a stool or something.
But as a study on cloth textures etc. I think it is great!
wow fantastic work!! Stunning… Impressive no more words small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond
Thank you guys!
@LD I tried to be accurate with the proportions and stick to the reference at the same time but you might be right. Cheers.
Real nice work!
Thanks a lot!

Thanks mate! Yes, it is the same painting you are thinking of
Outstanding, I really love how well you’ve sculpted the draped cloth in particular, wonderful work.
Thank you! I really appreciate it
Just a couple more close-ups bare in mind that the hair in Zbrush is a placeholder put together for a couple of minutes as the final one was made using Maya hair. I can’t wait to experiment with the new fiber mesh though!
Thanks a lot for the great feedback guys!

Hey Ogy,
Very cool work, finally something different from monsters and creatures in this forum. Good Job especially the chair it’s very well done
Seems like it’s not your first time doing drapery, what’s your workflow?

Thanks Luciano
My workflow is pretty straight forward. I started with a simple basemesh, shaped it and added some detail. Then I retopologized it and refined it by adding more detail.
Cheers,
Ogy
I really love it!
The major difference between the old painting and yours is the third dimension.
Do you plan to make a little camera move?
Or a stereo 3D picture?
Very nice render - I love this NPR painting style.
Is there any chance to get a hint how to achieve this with mental ray?
Anyway - Excellent work!
