Gand paintwork, i like how you have textured details in how you've painted them, befitting to a woodland creature.... i'm not so sure about the flesh, he seems a little tanned to be a fair skinned elf, but then who says elves must be fair!! I would rather see the sprite contrsting with the rest of the mini, it just looks like part of the scenery, however i think i remember you where going to try and make it camoflaged so to this objective you have been successfull. The drybrush texture in the hair is a bit obvious, try drybrushing with thin paint, many , many times or running the side of your brush along the contours of the hair (with a very small load of paint)... i'm being a bit harsh i think, best vote tomorrow!

@roguetrader: Thanks mate. He was a lot of fun.

@jnr: Harsh is what I need. I think a brighter sprite would have looked good also, but for some reason I just could not get that camo idea out of my head. As far as the hair, that is usually where I start to get lazy, so it helps when people call me out on it. Thanks mate.

Very nice mate The sword and the cloak is awesoem I think the hair has a nice contrasting colour but I agree with Dennis about the drybrush
the small sprit look quite cool too, I like it
