Great smooth execution of that miniature. I have to say that your blues look amazing! The detail is a 1st class. Those rats must have been a lot of work;) Hopefully you will add a back shot of this mini in your CMON gallery. Jakub

The sculpt has loads of character, and you've really brought that out with your painting. The blues have a fantastic glow to them, and I like the nuances of colour in the skin.
