I had a wee chuckle, glad you mixed up that rakarth flesh! The HoRNs are great mate SpoT ON
Bang on with the extra OSL on the horn and ear,Like you said dont want to over do it. getting some depth into the ball would be good though, going lighter with the cloudy white lines I think. I like the 2 tones of green you have used too, pro work.
Ideas / reference.
Im liking the spots of blue in the mini too, nice to break it up.
I see the more advanced tech on the teeth are there some small lines I can see?
Are you going to use the side of your brush to pick out afew edge highlights on the cloth, (you know the technique but will share) nice and fine glaze consitancy and start on more of the edge getting shorter as you build up the layers to get to the high point / point you want to emphasise. Note - You can see the soft to defined edges on Grysb's work.
Dont forget the crystal on his staff! (im sure its in the pipe line)
Dont sweat it we live in the now, and the way mini painting has progressed is amazing. Hold on to your past achievments use them as the building blocks to the future! (although my Hockey career is long over hahahaha Knees the general body aint what it was back then)
