First...Thanks for all your comments. Its always a pleasure to hear good things about your minis.
This mini was painted a few years ago and since then my painting skill has been improved.
If I could give this a 6.5 I would! I really like the colors and the work on the winged helm. The horse hair is also a lovely job and I LOVE the blue jewel. However the greens of the cloth and the white on the horse are a little too solid and without shade and depth to me.
Nice job picking out the muscles on the "horse" and beautiful gems, and nice work on the green as well. The eyes are a bit wide, with no real shadow. That and darken the division lines on the helmet.
