Thanks fellas!
It's all GW paints Andy, I'm using lots of black in this one which is very rare for me - I'm loving the gritty feel it's giving the finished look.

Damnit MM, I was gonna get this guy as my 1st ever steampunk but when you paint it I'll just feel foolish. Same thing happened with that big fat SP guy you painted. Well, I guess I can only say that you have great taste in minis...
ten things I love about your paint job:
10- Nice control of detail on such a small scale
9- Subtle control of color theory. Blue button and band with red scarf. Contrasts so well with the grimy and earthy pallet.
8- the 5 o' clock shadow
7- full range of contrast on everything. Important on this scale
6- Unique leather/tan color on his jacket
5- Excellent weathered look on the above
4- his cherry red nose. Really provides setting (cold winter night) and/or character (flushed from drink).
3- so many small glare points. Such effective use of the tiny white highlights
2- Stippling on his hat
1- light placement on his hat
Yeah so that how I feel about this.

I say go for it BF of K - he's a lovely miniature and full of personality that isn't immediately obvious to begin with. I keep a close eye on your work and it's certainly not foolish!
Many thanks for the feedback - it's good to see I'm doing something right
I touched up the scarf (but it's still not 100% - it's just too damn small as can be seen from the size of the brush in the picture!).

Here's the next project - many of you would have seen on FB but none the less..... The pictures are crappy though.

The green tones look great, really nice contrasting colours for the shading and highlighting

Alucard was really nice to paint with loads of personality that's not immediately obvious - I agree!
Many thanks on the green

KB - he's from Sergent Blackart. I'm not sure if he's already sold out or he's not yet been on their website for sale though. I'll have an update this evening.
