I love Easter! So much time to paint Changed the skin tone a little bit, compared to previous post. Added some grey to the shadows like you suggested Tim. Thanks! I'd love to hear your comments. And here's the link to CMON www.coolminiornot.com/219435

I think it looks great especially the nmm on the sword blade and the face is also much improved. I think you could push the highlighting on the black a bit further though, at the moment it doesn't pop quite as much as the other parts of the mini. Overall though your painting is really coming along.

nice work on the robes magie. I wish i had time to paint, but all i can really do at the moment is say what an excellent job you did. The gauntlets i think could use a little more highlighting though. I like his hair

Lovely piece, Magie! As Tim mentioned, the blacks could use a bit more highlighting. The NMM is excellent, although could use just a hint of pure white at the points of greatest light reflection on the back of the sword. The front is spot on.

Lovely piece Magie. Not a fan of NMM as folks will tell you here, but it looks really well done. Think the skin could use a little more depth, but overall a great piece!!!!

Thanks for the feedback. Will think about that next time! Bru, you're right about the face. I just had enough of it, and the paint was starting to pile up, so I decided to leave it like it is The highlighting on the black is a bit of a struggle for me. I don't want it to be too bright as it takes away the dark look, but now it's difficult to see the highlights at all. In real life it's a bit clearer though. Thanks again!

I think the face is the weakest part of a good job!
It needs some more variance in shade/tone...
Well done on the sword (though I too am not a fan of the NMM style in general...)
ArrrOOOooo!
