It looks damn good from here, the back view especially, the only niggles i have are the blending in the front view firstly on his right arms sleeve, where it seems a little blotchy, and secondly at the darker end of the staff where theres a minor but noticable jump in tone, if you could get these things sorted it would definately get and 8 from me, maybe more.
overall though the idea and execution is good, cheers for sharing

As you get closer to the lightsource have the shadows get lighter. Have the lit areas get darker as they get farther away from the light source.

Looks great to me. I agree with what shawn and brokenblade said. LOTR minis get harsher ratings IMO than other larger figures, so I think it will be hard to break eight with an LOTR mini. Good luck however.

My first OSL attempt ... I had lot of problems with the stick who broken every time :S

The catch of sight was difficult because I wanted an environment sinks. Lighting facial, is shifted side of the source of light. I do not know if it exsite a technique to draw from good photographs of OSL. If you thank you know some to communicate them to me.

I didn\'t know there was a bias against LOTR stuff. The piece above looks like a good mini. Good paintjob too.

Whenever I vote on LOTR minis, a lot of the time they seem to have lower ratings than I think they deserve. I don\'t think people say,\" Oh, an LOTR mini? I think am knocking a point off the rating.\" I certainly haven\'t done a study on it or anything, but actually I think there was a topic on it where people said this was true. They are smaller and don\'t have as much detail which I think just cuts down on potential. I could be wrong, but that is what I had always thought. I like the Gandalf personally and I gave it an 8.

This has got to be one of the best LOTR figures on this site! :wow::cool: The OSL might not e perfect, but it\'s certainly damn good! Saw it and voted on it before I found this thread. Gave it a 9. Excellent work, Ansquer.

Excellent work, Ansquer! I think you have done extremely well (first attempt or otherwise!). My only critique regarding the OSL would be to have had the right front side of the log get some light. Galdalf\'s right sleeve was struck by the light, so I think some of it would have made it to the log.
