Terminator Librarian

I went back today for the monthly painting group at the local store and found out this fella had taken the win on the competition from last month... with all but one vote! That makes him my first win and the first piece I've had in the display cabinet. Points on which I'm told he won:

Flesh and character of his face
Freehand on the books
Text "LUX OCCULTA" on the bookmark
Source lighting on the armour

I got more feedback about how he could have used some OSL from the staff -- and, unfortunately, you can still only see the lighting effect in the first photo. Even in the light box the highlights just look like glare since that's where the light actually falls. His right knee is still blank since I'll probably send this guy to eBay eventually and add whatever chapter badge by request.

Man this is sweet, you never showed this over at Relic, first off awesome base! really gives the mini a sense of setting. Very smooth blending on the robes and nice picking out of the little details, i know, theres a lot of them. Couple of critiques for improvement: the gold is a little too bright and not shaded enough, which obscures a bit of the detail, especially on the staff head. there is some primary colored design on the book which can't be made out but it's a little distracting, i think you would have been better off doing simple text. Overall great mini, congrats on the win
