I think you are becoming more bold with your highlights. Your confidence shows this with his skin and the two very well placed glints on the sword. Like it a lot!When I first got into painting, I saw this crazy tutorial from a company selling stencils to be used for sculpting different things. However, I found that the stencils weren't really needed, just follow along with the pattern and it'll come out just the Same. I'll try to find the pics I took of a bear head and wolf head cloak, but you'd have thought I was a master sculptor. All from simply being shown a template for making the sculpts. Is that green marble, or blue? Looks like the latter on my screen. Maybe it's "Sotek." Did you make the lines in the marble with VMC Whote glaze by any chance???
