Nice work Margo.. and yes that blue is brilliant..its almost \"electric\" I must get some Hawk Turquoise..
Thank you guys!
Indeed, the blues of the dress are exactly the colors I used on Celestine (described above). However, there were much stronger highlights on Celestine, and I only used the blue as a base, or a shade, if you will. Here, I wanted to make it a dominant, solid color. Also, I wanted to stick to the traditional Wood Elf look, since this miniature is for Works of Heart auction.

IMHO you can do it better. Good color pattern but looking too flat. Blue is realy nice, but leafs, skin and hairs not enough juicy. I`we see similiar model on this forume, she also have the same problem, not enough life, not enough of clear and bright highlihts. I vote 8 and belive what you can paint her better.
Kirill, thanks a lot for your comments! I\'ve heard similar comments about some other miniatures of mine and I know that sometimes (not always though!) I don\'t give them enough contrast. Hard to explain why, it really depends on a miniature. I\'ll keep that comment in mind for future.
There\'s yet another problem, and I hope to fix it soon: my camera
, it gives somewhat blurry images even when in focus.

lovely piece of work Margo.
I\'ve just got a new lens for my D-SLR as recommended by Spacemunkie - it could be very scary indeed.
The SLR has been a great choice - just took picture\'s of my son\'s christmas production in very low light conditions without a flash - impossible with other cameras. And DSLRs are getting cheaper now, Margo, as new models come out.

AAARRRRGGGHHHH......
One day I\'ll get as good as this.... Maybe
Margo, I love the skin and the face buuuuteeful. The hair looks a little flat to me, and I\'m of two minds on the blue dress. Looks good, and heres the but a little to hard on the highlights.
just my two coppers
