Very nice mate, I think she could do with a few washes on the metals to make the filigree stand out more but other than that excellent.

Yea i have, one tiny dot lol
Filigree is ornamental work using fine wire, so all the metal plating was covered in it. A right pain.
Tim, il remeber that for next time, contrast has always been a pain for me when doing metaiilcs, just never know how dark to go. Or it looks really dark, but then isn't under different light.

It can be a real paint to do but I try to outline filigree again with a dark colour such as dark brown or even black, the base areas of armour like that I rarely go above a chain mail colour and for filigree a carefully pick it out with straight silver after re-defining.

Yea I had went back and tried to outline it all, but my eyes started really stinging (coupled with the fact it was 2am)
Plus the metallics might not be as shining as much in that pic as I had recently Dull Coated it. Il have to go over with some satin varnish again.
But Iv got more Ilyad to do (probably do one of the 2 males next) so I should hopefully improve on that regarding metallics.
Only problem is my male skin tones are craptastic compared to my female tones.

The skin is excellent, which is most of the model, but I feel like you could take the loincloths and metal a bit farther. For just two days though it very good!

lol The first day I did about 11hrs, went to bed at 4am or something silly. Then next day got up a 11am and did another 5hrs or something.
I was absolutely buggered afterwards!
Plus the two days before that I had spent about 15hrs solid painting Galadriel.

Great looking skin tones. The fur is also very well done. Not much else to add other than what the others have indicated.
