Great advice I agree about the gold edge after I painted it I thought it might be too much. I have stuggled a bit with the metals but hopefully with practice it will get better. Thanks for the comments much appreciated.
Nice job, i like this dark DA cheme much more then the current light one, the icon and base aore oK as well; you may waynt to work more on the metals, they lokk a abit flat, try some black ink washes; I also think the gold base edge is a bit strange.
