As a follow-up to the previous post, where I shared the work with textures done on the photo of a prop dummy, I still owe showing the result on the second mannequin, who, due to his attire, represented a military officer, to whom I arbitrarily assigned the rank of general, albeit in obvious decline.

I used different textures for the face, but to maintain some visual continuity with the previous work, I reused the upper textures. It's clear that far from the threatening appearance of the first doll, this one leaves us with an expression of sadness and melancholy, characteristic of someone who has surely seen better days.

I considered replicating what I had done with the first one by creating a darker version. However, I recognized that there wasn't a compelling reason to do so, as this one doesn't evoke the same unsettling feelings as its counterpart.
