OK Mosch you asked for it.
Bring it on
I won\'t learn from \"Yes, that one\'s nice.\".

The flesh is good but way too healthy for a walking corpse. You should go alot lighter and then give it purple and green washes to bring out the unhealthy look.
Not quite right. The last walking corpse I saw was pretty healthy looking; a side effect of the dark magic animating it I think. Na, seriously: The skin colour was chosen to be more healthy looking than people expect. Who defines what mythological characters look like? I say mine just had a drink and the blood flowing through him renewed him, making him look a lot better than before
I don\'t want him to look like a walking corpse actually...

The dress thingy is too flat. You need to really bring up the highlights and then do some free hand. Even a NMM gold border would help.
Kinda true. I still suck at blending and the skirt looked even worse than now when I tried to get some more highlights in. considering my skill at freehand: See above blending note
I agree with you, but can\'t carry that one out... I\'ll keep on trying on my test mini.

Next your metals. way too light. You should go darker to make it look heavier and old. Some brown and orange and green washes and speckling for a bit of rust.
I don\'t want any rust on it, but you\'re right, the metal looks too light. Thing is, every time I paint NMM, people tell me it\'s too dark and I need to put lighter highlights. Now I did and people tell me it\'s too light
Haven\'t found the sweet spot yet.

The blade. Alot of oportunity here. The curruption needs red and green washes to make it look like a currupted blade.
Na... I don\'t like that mental picture. Simple fingal growth should suffice.

The hair. Needs more work and I think its a bad choice of colors as its similar to the color of the metals. Maybe go for a blond but I would have gone blue/black with some streaks at the temples.
Agreed whole-heartedly. I changed the hair several times already, but I can\'t seem to get it to look good. I want him to have greyish-blueish hair that becomes white - so far, no luck. Tried black and white with a blue glaze, but that didn\'t look to well either...

The teeth and eyes are too plain as well. The teeth need some blending from snake bite up and the eyes need some yellow in them.
See? I told you, you can\'t see the blending on the teeth
I said the exact same thing in the description. Bsically, they are blended, and it was a hell of a job, but it\'s not visible unless inspected very closely.
The eyes are a very light yellow which I like. I\'ll keep it that way.

I think your score of 6.3 is a bit low. Maybe a high 6 or low 7. Nice paint job sorry if I sounded a bit harsh but you did ask for it. I hope you can repay the favour sometime.
I would\'t have it any other way
Vikey: Thanks
Yeah, about the highlights, once again, my blending sucks and I didn\'t want to eff up and otherwise OK mini. You are right, though...
