I love it. I really like how you painted it a different color scheme than the GW pictures. I like the added character you\'ve added with the scars on the wings showing an aged vampire. The overall dark color scheme works perfectly too instead of the more traditional fake bright reds. My only criticism is the base. I like how you added some figures beneath the surface, but I just don\'t like the flat block of wood. I think it would be much more interesting if you added dirt and rocks so it looked more like a cross-section of the earth rather than a block of wood. Other than that, it\'s great, I agree with the 9.2 rating.

I\'ve just voted, commented and added to my favourites list. I think you\'ve done a great job with interpeting the wing and personally I really like the base too. There a re a couple of areas which show up as not haveing the same amount of time spent on them - cloak and armour - but not enough to really detract from the overall feel of the mini (if anything, they accentuate the focal point more). Great job and certainly inspires me to get on with painting mine now.

very nicely done. i really don\'t like the figure but you have really brought it to life!
I really hate that mini, and the wing in particular. Yet, it\'s particularly the wing that really makes this paintjob great! Very artistic! The rest of the mini is good too, but the wing is really extraordinary.
EDIT: Just to clarify... when I say \"hate that mini\", I mean the sculpt.

The mini is awesome, I bought it today (first WFB mini since the Beastlord with big axe - probably bought it due to lack of sleep last night, but it\'s still a fantastic miniature). You\'ve done a great job, hopefully I can get mine in the same ballpark (though I will probably be lifting my wing detail from GeOrc, unless one of my other ideas gets enacted).

Thx for all your Feedback - I guess it\'s mostly the wing... :bouncy: ... which brings so much attention to this guy :redface:
@Robberbaron
Good point! The base is still something weird with no concept - i am sure about that - your suggestion seem pretty good and i will take more time on the next base of this kind - thx for that point of view.
@matty1001
Thx!
@Highbulp Billy
Thx for the honour (fav\'list) - i really can tell that i am also not a real fan of most of the GW Vampires - love the old ones more, like the female ones, but this guy - i must say it again - in my opinion is one great sculpt - I personally like the dynamic line the whole model includes, like ---> )
Looking forward to see more of this guys on cmon... but take your time for yours
@supervike
Thx! Even i did not work on every part with the same attention - you found the word i was thinking about, whilst painting: novelish...
@freakinacage
Thanks a lot...
@Arma
Thx for your feedback. For the skin i went in a bright basecoat with space wolfs grey (Citadel) and Bleached Bone (Citadel) - then i set the shadows with some mixes and glazes of grey/purple/blue/black, also mixed some tanned flesh in but that was such a weird painting session i even can\'t remember - I then brought back the lights with giving more and more \"Ivory\" (Vallejo Model Colour #70918) in the mix i had for the shadows... Hope that helps?
@Ritual
Thank you very much - i know it\'s the wing and there has been no clarify needed - i know some people who love this sculpt and i know some people who hate it - i definatly didn\'t get you wrong
@Jazz is for losers
Yeah saw that one from GeOrc, too - it is in my opinion a way better go on that mini - this freehand work is simply awesome. I really got inspired by GeOrc\'s Vamp - i bought mine after seeing his and was really fascinated, but my goal was to try something totally different...
Thx again for your Feedback - so much new ideas and an aking back lol
Regards and Happy Painting everyone!

guess I can only kind of repeat - but I\'ll do it anyway. The mini it self is stupid IMHO as most of the new vamps, but I think you have gotten max from it. And yes the paintjob on the wing is it\'s best part, could have had a slightly lesser pink color thought. The base is fantastic, adds more caracter to the new vamps than the whole series it self An 8 from me.
