ah wow, lots more comments, I didn\'t realise! Thanks for the advice everyone.
ABout the boots, yes yes I get the point haha, I\'ll try to reduce the size!
And the eyelids - I actually already added eyelids from a slightly earlier WIP, although it\'s hard to see in the photos - I think a lot of things will show up a lot more and will (hopefully!) look better once the mini is painted.
The sculpt is mainly super sculpey, with duro (greenstuff) also, as you can see in the first pic prior to the grey undercoat. And the armature was just wire - quite thick wire though, a bit thicker than a paper clip, so it was quite strong. The original armature was jsut the legs and body - I added the arms later, and sculpted the head separately.
And yes, for the painting I\'m going to try to stick with the colours of the original artwork I think.
As for contacting the artist - well, I tried to find a way to contact him, because I wanted to ask his permission to use his artwork - but his site doesn\'t seem to be operational...I did a bit of research, and it seems that he disappeared from the online community a few years ago - rumour has it that he\'s working for a big CGI company or something, so all his stuff is secret and copyrighted etc. But who knows!
