In my opinion it’s very well painted mini. What is more important I can see that you have your own style which is admirable. I like the red gems and connection of blue and black on sleeves. I see that highlights are little bit too flat, but in my opinion it is the fault of the picture. That’s why I think that only barrier for you to get higher notes is a size of a photo and it’s quality (maybe better camera or HDR photography could do the trick).
have to return the favour of comment and voting on my mini.
clean nice work here... though i'm not too keen on eldars, but th e paint job is good. maybe you could take some of the extremes, highlights/shadows a bit further. took a look at your earlier work and I must say you have evolved to the better, keep it up. //ZaptoekE
