Hmm...I know the intentions are good and nobody means anything but the best for you Ten, but I sorta get the sense that people are being a bit picky with their critiques. Again, before I am drowned out in a cacophony of protest, I know the intentions were for improvement above all else, but hell I think it's a damn fine example of gold NMM, with a highly reflective quality, good contrast, a nice golden brown tone...it looks like brilliantly painted metallics to me, and I'm not too humble to say I paint better NMM than most. Yes, you did improve it over time, but this is despite the advice, not because of it IMO. And since then calls for a glint here or edge highlighting there are frankly elementary, my dear Lee. Elementary.
I know you will say that the advice is heeded and appreciated, 10, because this may be true, but mostly because you are a gentleman (and a painter). I guess I am just a wee bit sensitive over the audacious beating you took initially. I just want to say that you are Thee motha touchin' Ten Ball and you knocks it out the park on the regular, my brotha....
Rant complete. Apologies to everyone who offered constructive criticism.
