It's a good solid piece, but the blue/purples are a bit overused. I think a variation of colours would really boost this mini! For evil menacing pieces I like dark purpls/blues, dark reds/greens and the ubiquitous black ;) The skin could use definition (add light browns to the mix), it's a bit of a bugger painting elf skin,i know, wanting it to look light...but dyamic. Great job though! Nice :)
