This was a really fun mini to paint, I'm happy with the overall results this is my thrid attempt at NMM and my first at gold. The snow on the base is Woodland scenics snow easy to work with and looks great. I took tons of pics but this is the best I can get , I lost alot of the highlights in this pic (mainly in the wood on the crossbow and his hair) :( All comments and criticism welcome and wanted -Torath- :)

The NMM gold looks very good, maybe needs some white highlights to really make it shine. I suppose I should pull my finger out and practice NMM... back to the mini. The base looks great, especially the tree. His hair is also good, and the face looks well highlighted, but I can't tell if the eyes are good or not because of the photo. Nice mini, keep it up!

I'd make it 7.5 if possible, really. The hair seems, to me, a bit too monochromatic, and the tree seems to be trying to steal focus from the figurine. Maybe if you cut the top off, and made it a shrub at his side, instead of having it taller than him? I like the sword as it is, though I agree, it looks more like amber than gold. And I love the work at the hem of his cloak.

I really like the tree and the snowy base! Good red on the beard/hair. To make the sword look more "golden" I think the hightlights and shadows on the sword need to be stronger (ie darker shadows and lighter highlights) - it looks more like a translucent Amber blade to me. Which is also cool!
