Once again... comments/advice wanted.

[Gabekun]

Well, I got a few Reaper figures acouple weeks back, and the first one I decided to do was the new Stern Kestrelmann figure.

Besides a few PITA seams (down the middle of the face and in the folds of the cloak... oi), this was a real joyful experience. I wanted to push myself to try new things, so this is my very first attempt at lighting effects, as well as a scenic base (which is also my first attempt at sculpting, albeit nothing major...).

Votes and comments would be much appreciated: http://www.coolminiornot.com/60406

very good work!

Only your 15th mini huh?

You are making some great strides then.

The face is very characterful and I love the blue robe.

My favorite part though, is definately the shield. It looks very \'battle worn\'.

Good work.

I really have to ask this. Why didn\'t you paint his teeth?

 

[Gabekun]

Because the face was miscast, and there were no clearly defined teeth. I may try to go back and paint in some teeth though... abit afraid to though, now :\\

Trevor: Thanks for the advice. I agree that it needs to be more subtle and softer.. I just don\'t have enough skill in blending yet, though, and couldn\'t get a soft gradiant with layers.

Supervike: Thanks... the shield did turn out pretty good, even though I only spent about 5 minuteso n it (It was the last thing I painted).
