Um, first of all, the pic is not that well taken. It\'s hard to pick out details. But there are some things besides that you need to take into consideration:
The blood on the sword looks too \"Stringy\". The long strokes you used do not make it look liquid. Plus, if blood were on the sword, it would be somewhat see-thru and would be glossy.
The sword itself looks like a peice of marble with all those paralell lines, so it looks like stone.
Overall, I can\'t see too much so I can\'t figure out what\'s going on, but you need to dramatically lighten and darken the NMM. It lks like you\'re staying in a netural color range too much and it\'s hard to read.
Please don\'t take this as bashing , it\'s just criticism, the rest of the mini looks great!
