Very nice! The face is beautiful. But I think that the NMM need a little bit more contrast between highlights and shadows. The purple armour is great, but it could be better with final highlights in pure white. Congrats for the piece!
Well *.5 as the face you've really nailed. However as has been mentioned in a previous comment the NMM particularly the gold is lacking some stronger shadow or darker tonality. Otherwise the whole mini is realy well done and has captured your tintent of a Double take. Well done.
I think you captured the moment very nicely, there's a great sense of mood in this piece. I really like the purple armour, and the face is lovely. Some of the metal areas look like they need a bit more contrast to 'shine' a bit more, the sword in particular seems a little flat.
