Somewhat strange colors for a Wardancer 
Buut, then again...
The skin could have used some more shading, and I\'m not too fond of the crazy highlights on the leather. Other than that it looks great and the sword is just brilliant

Funny, I like the skin and dislike the sword.
I agree the highlighting on the boots goes too high. Nice woodgrain, nice tats, and love the face paint.

It is most deffinetly interesting. It might be a little to over the top for my taste. But I can tell that you did put a lot of time and effort into it. The one thing that I really don\'t like is the purple tats on her legs, torso and arm. They just don\'t seem right I think black or even blue would of been better.
Why do people keep saying \"his\"? Take a good, long loooook at the chest area A very strange male indeed, or perhaps simply female? Anyway, I like this mini. Over the top and ludicrous, but it looks cool to me. The tattoos and painting in general (NMM is AWESOME) are great, but you\'re going to upset people by not making her green, she looks more like a circus performer harlequin clown person. Insane. I love it.

wow! i love it! finally something that jives with my painting style!
i hate that colors like this are looked down upon! its a great paintjob - do you think his choice of colors was a mistake??? i dont. i think you all need to back up a bit on the color criticism, its creative, and well executed.
get over your color theory dogma!

You are right he is a she. I will have to correct that small error.

Problem is color isn\'t all about color theory... it\'s about the mini the colors are placed on. Just because the colors match, doesn\'t mean they match the feel of the mini.
Any selfrespecting Wood Elf, would not be caught outside in thoes colors, as they do not blend in with their surroundings... Just as little as you would see a dwarf wearing a pink skirt! While the painting is awesome, the colors were not a wise pick for this kind of model
@Pingu: hehe, look at the post with my Wardancer, you said he was a she

a completely subjective opinion. are you an elf? why wouldnt it wear purple? what if the trees are purple, or flowering (it happens IRL, and this is fantasy)? it is a dancing elf, seems appropriate to me.
why couldnt a dwarf wear a pink skirt? what if its a girl? pink being a feminine color is even a bias - who is to say that dwarves consider it feminine? the roman elite wore purple as a status symbol.
\"the feel\" of the mini, thats just silly. everyone has a different take on things - your opinions could even be culturaly biased; e.g. in south america/the 80\'s people frequently combined bright, clashing colors with each other.
think outside the box, man, YOUR box.

... right... You babble alot there funnymouth It\'s your opinion, and some people will like this mini, and yes, I don\'t think it fits the feel of the mini.
Purple is a royal colour, and would most likely not be used by a Woodelf, Highelf more likely...
The feel of the mini is exactly what painting is about, you don\'t paint an elf with yellow skin now do you? No, because it wouldn\'t fit it...
And again, I\'m not saying the mini looks bad, the painting is great, but other colours could have made it score higher in my opinion, thankfully, we all have our opinions...
And I do think out of the box, man...

It is a she. All wardancers are female.
Your kidding right ? Seriously... say your kidding?
Not all wardancers are female, that is just strange talk... All Witchelves are female, but they aren\'t the same... Wardancers are both male and female. The one I\'ve painted is male otherwise \"she\" wouldn\'t have any bra on... not likely...
Lookie:
Wardancers
At least half of thoes aren\'t female...

i do babble
. im just sick of that particular criticism. as i see it, the feel is up to the artest, not the viewer. why shouldnt an elf have yellow skin? its fantasy.Dark Seraphim

Not saying that he should change the colours...
But viewer opinions is what people are after in here, isn\'t it? Otherwise you shouldn\'t really post
Painting a mini to me is finding colours that fit it,... there are many colours that just don\'t fit minis, and yellow elves is one of thoes... if you did paint it, don\'t expect people to like it...
