TSR Elf Mage 1983

First Mini posted on CMON. I got back into painting just in the past year after MANY years. I know these older minis are crude by comparison to today's minis, but they have great nostalgia value, and I feel obligated to paint them. Trying to improve, so any feedback about painting, photography or other suggestions welcome.

I love the nostalgia as well, but the clothes need at least as much shading as the face. A matte finish would help a lot too.

That's one weird looking elf. Yes, the shine is pretty much killing him. also, the photo is maybe a tad too big. Try stepping back a tiny bit and cropping the photo. Also, if you put a blue fade sheet of paper behind him rather than a white towel, the colors will show better.

Thanks for my first feedback - much appreciated. The finish is supposed to be matte, but I think I am going to have to get some of the Dull-coate that most others seem to be using.
