Congratulations !!

Jeff, that's killer. Yes, you need work on the bulino which you acknowledge. The rest is absolutely top shelf work. :beerchug:

Jeff that looks great. What is the base material?

Wow! Very cool!

The precision of the tiny squares is astounding!! Truely a work of art!

Jeff, I never get tired of seeing your work. Every piece seems better than the last, constantly showing a refinement of skills and technique.

thanks guys. Mike i used grs mild steel for this one.

Jeff,

It is always a treat to open photos of your work.

Indeed it is a work of art, and beautifully attentive to detail!

I have never played with a steel flat pick, although I have played pedal steel, what's it like playing with a steel pick, and is this masterpiece strictly for show? Might it wear off your lovely art work if you started into using it?

best

I hope the owner of this pick doesnt actually play w it. the sides are inlayed in gold too and im not sure they would hold up to well.... but the guy is punk rock sooooooo.....

Fat Mike might chew on it ;-) Great job man! Thanks for posting!

Jeff,

If the punk rocker owner really just, must, use that great pick once in a while, a wipe of superglue will add a hard, transparent layer of protection that would keep your splendid work intact?

Comes off easily with a wipe of acetone.

Can't wait to see your next creation ...

Great work !!

That's pretty righteous. Is that for a member of NOFX?! I used to listen to them!

As far as the figure, working from an image where there's a dramatic light source can help with modeling the form. One thing that I have my students do is draw like crazy and do studies from Durer and Goltzius. Here's link to a high res portrait by Durer. http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/engraver/FrederickSaxonyDurer.gif
Lots of great hatching to study in the image, but I'm not sure this would fall in the "bulino" category. I suppose it depends on what look you want. Thanks for posting that...looks like a good future project idea for my class next semester.
