Description
I originally set out to improve my first version of this bust… and somewhere along the way it turned into a full rebuild.
The goal was simple: cleaner features, better proportions, and more depth in the expression. What came out the other side is a completely different piece!
Sharper details, smoother flow in the hair and beard, and a much stronger presence overall. The crown especially was reworked to feel more natural and integrated instead of just sitting on top.
This version prints beautifully. The layering holds up nicely across the face and hair, and the details in the crown and fabric come through even on standard settings.
In the end, this became less of a revision and more of a proper tribute piece — and definitely a big step up from where I started.
Would love to see how others finish or paint this one.
God Bless.
Cut the supports 1CM below the crown. Wiggle them off the crown carefully, the sections below your cut, are safe to rip off without concern.
