I really like the metal and the freehand on the shield. The scars look too much the same. I like the snowy base.

Indeed, the skin is very well done, all comes together in a really awesome way. Thanks for describing everything so detailed! Awesome ambient...hrks...I'm not awake yet, someone help me finding the words! The light works out very good too, if I had to give you some feedback, maybe the hair needed some more light/reflections, but it could be the angle he holds his head...just a really great miniature...keep it up :)

The limited and realistic palette looks fantastic, I love the supple look of the leathers. The skin is superb, also, and the shield. I agree with Trovarion that a few reflections spots on the hair are something that could add to this, though it's pretty wonderful as it is.
