Awesome!!! I can see how good you are at it after looking at your other minis, too. I absolutely SUCK at steel NMM, and you've done better than me on your first try! Great work!
i think for a first attempt it s very good. However, you might want to try priming it next time, and keep in mind that the angle it sits at on the model will affect how the shine will look, so just make sure the reflections fit with the surroundings according to where the light source is in relation to the metal. Other than that good job. Keep up the good work!
The NMM looks good but make the blood darker in the center of the stain. Most people don't realize that as soon as blood starts to dry it gets really dark, almost black. If it's fresh that's one thing, otherwise, blacken it a bit. Cheers!
