The metallics were brought up from a black primer. Boltgun (equivalent) then washed with brown/black ink. Boltgun mixed with chainmail, washed again. Then I worked up the highlights with chainmail, then chainmail and mithril, increasing the proportion of mithril until just mithril. Then I gave all the armour a single glaze with blue ink. I wanted the steel to be very bright.
The hair was scorched brown base which I mixed with a little white for the highlights.

The steel seems coming out good. I would have worked a little more on some selected blacklining to give more depth. But a very nice contrast between the grey of the armour and the red of the hair...maybe too much green on the base, a little too big in my opinion. Very good job

The base seems too large for this mini, but overall I like it. Again nice to see metallics on mini's.
