The mini is nice and colours are subtle ... But where is the shield?
I wait for the mini to be complete to increase the score.
The base is far below the mini.
Hi there, lions have fine details so there is much to paint with accuracy. I think you've done quite extraordinary good job on the trousers, smooth shading and blending (and it looks realistic), as well on the armor's golden nmm (except the upper helmets' top, which doesn't seem to have the exact reflection angle). The scarf is nice and smooth, good shading of white. The weaker points of this miniature are: A) the green hair, which doesn't have highlight at all (and too much visible undercoat), B) the armor-plates need a slight highlight too and C) (a minor weakness): The weapon need imho the same hue as the golden nmm on the armor. Trouser, scarf and golden nmm 8.5, but the rest needs a slight excessive labour.
