I entered this in the morland studios competition over at wamp. Before I take it to any shows I would love to hear what people think of it.

I think it looks very good, especially the cloth. I'd gladly accept it any time.
that said, the skin and the hair looks a bit flat from the pictures.
skin: some middletones to bring it to life. Now it looks too uniformly skin-colored-paint.
hair: 1 or 2 extra highlight to make it shine. Pushing the HL-s toward white would make it look more shiny. Right now it's a bit dull, as if it were unkept/dirty. Maybe that looks great and it's only a personal thing, as I like the shiny-looking-hair in minis.
also: it won't affect shows, where you'll be taking it, but you should take the mini to a photo-studio to have better images.

Here is a larger version. Her skin is pretty subtle but I think the shading is appropriate for female skin as I don't want to masculinize her too much. I also wanted to keep her pale and pink to emphasize the theme of the peice. Oh and this is the 32mm piece and is TINY.

It's a great piece. I think to get a "9" you would have to add a creek to the base or something.
I would like to see the poem printed out onto some parchment paper weathered a bit with your paint brush and put on the plinth.
Maybe just a little shadow around her elbow. The arm looks a little flat.
Also I would experiment with some manual focus shots if that is an option. Parts of the tree look a little sharper then she does. If you could move that around you might have a better photo.

First of all, Thanks! good idea with the poem, I was trying to figure out how to include it. Its actually a bit of an old welsh folk song.
My camera is kinda crap for minis and I'm crap at taking pics of minis. I have gotten better but I really need to upgrade my setup when I get some more space. Tripod, light tent that sort of thing. I think that would do a lot. I've messed with the manual settings but its kinda hard to use without a tripod.
