Harlequin and Knight

[montka]

Hi,

Here is my latest work, I feel I am improving since my last piece.

Any questions or comments go ahead

Unfortunately image quality is being drastically reduced when I post

This is how I would criticise the harle:
yellow would benefit from some freehand black diamonds;
more colour stages and smoothness on several areas but particularly sword and nmm;
more work shading the gems;
larger diamonds;
base is dull;

overall quite nice

Looks like every host I have accesss to wants to reduce the quality of my images quite badly!

Very nice

I like them, but I disagree about adding the black checks to the yellow. I think with all the effort you put into the freehand (Very awesome BTW) I like having some of the mini left in a solid colour. If it was painted in freehand as well I think it would just be too much. As it is now, I like it.

And sure, the bases could use soem work to match the quality of the painting. If you don't enjoy making bases I'd reccomend looking at some resin ones. I know Dragon Forge Designs is my favorite and I like the look of their "sanctuary" series for a mini like your Harlequin for sure.

love the haryley, i think its great and like the way it draws the eye to the checks. The knight is also great but maybe a bit plain, or am i being spoilt by all the great freehand?
