Looks very good indeed, i like the weathering on the cloak and the base especally,

Theres not too much i can say as it\'s all pretty high quality, if anything, i\'d suggest maybe giving his trousers more harsh highlights (or shading depending how you like it) and maybe more highlights to the jacket just to give it a bit more of a wow factor. This is a very small mini and the pics are close up, is the one in the bottom right actual size, looks it pretty much, (infact comparing it to an actuall model i can still say it\'s twice as big :p )anyway hope thats helpful to you.

Very nice job on him as I already told you. To be honest I think that you\'r paint job is as close as possible to the best that could be done with this mini, to raise your score (and chances at the GD) I\'d sugest coming up with a base that would be a little less simple. Looking foward to seeing him in real :D

I think the face needs more work: better highlights, and the eyes also look wrong (can\'t really judge that very good from the pic)

Hey Ansquer...

...nice figure! ;) Overall it\'s a nice piece,perhaps some darklining round the eyes will help them stand out a little better. The weapon could use some shading/highlighting to define it a little,and maybe a darker tone to seperate the fingers on his hands.Love the base,nice work and the cloak is nice too with the weathering. Good Luck at Golden Demon ;)

Well every one else has given you the advice I would have suggested. :)
One thing I might suggest is that you could darken the base colours slightly on the rocks in order to make the figure seem to standout more. Perhaps an Ultra thin wash of a very Dark Brown or Brown/Black tested on one to see how it looks before committing to the whole figure.

What ever you decide, good luck on the 24th of April.
