This is my first painted IK figure. I decided it would be fun to paint all of the feathers on her cloak a different color rather than doing them all as one. The technique would probably work better if the colors were a little more distinct but I feel it kept with the overall color scheme.
Rating: 7 It's painted with good control and the shading is really great, but i don't particularly agree with the colour choice.
The blueish flesh tone clashes with the other colours, and the army green used for the armour is just well... too army green, and too similar to the hair colour making that appear army green aswell.
I think it would have worked better with a greyish but still pink based flesh tone, a more pastel green for the armour and jet black for the hair.
But yes the cloak is very nice and the boots are really perfect.
Rating: 7 The cloak looks nice. Having tried to do that with a GW high elf's armor I know how much work that can be.
My only problem with the paintjob is the handle of her sword looks like you didn't finish it or rushed to meet a deadline.
Rating: 8 I like the idea with the feathers on the cloak! Overall I like the autumn colour scheme of this one. Maybe the metallics on the sword could use a bit more shading, though.
