Overall a most excellent piece by you (again)! There are some really brilliant spots on this one. Like the reflection of the gold eagle in the silver neckpiece and the excellent feel of the purple cloth!
I actually like the face very much, love the skintones! But think it needs som lining around it, and I think the lines from the nose towards the mouth looks a bit like a cut. That part of the face, from the line towards the cheek, seems to be problematic sculptwise so I\'d probably do it slightly darker, and maybe a slightly colder colour as well, making it not look like it\'s standing out.
The NMM is excellent on most spots but I think the part from the bottom of his left knee (his) down to the foot has too much midtones and IMO also needs more bright spots. Even if you go by the zenithal light method (and the special version: imagining a flashlight over his head

) the light won\'t loose that much intensity. Same with his left glove (esp. his fingers) and perhaps his right foot as well.. the right leg however is awesome!
Again, Great job! Take my criticism as the nit-picking it is. Well done!
jubvgg or Ravage mix open?
