My third completed miniature. I do feel I see some improvement in my shading and layering technique on this one. I decided not to use any washes, which turned out to be a good idea as there were pits and bumps on the figure, particularly on his sword side. The highlights are a bit brighter than they appear in the photograph. The part I like the best is the quiver, and the shading on the shield. I don't think the copper chainmail turned out very well, and my first attempt at freehand on the shield there is pretty pitiful. The base is just a scatter of tea leaves. I don't know anything about the figure other than it's between 10-20 years old, and it's marked D1 on the bottom. Please let me know if you know the manufacturer or model on this one!

I agree with KatieG; the number one thing that hurts is the sculpt. You have good shading -- the boots are terrific. Like the snotling, I think the highlights should be yellow-green. There is something chunky about the paint job; it may be the camera, or it could be that you're using bad paints/primer, or you're not shaking/mixing the paint/primer enough, or that you're not thinning your paints. I'm not sure which.
