Wow, this is a gorgeous miniature and the execution on the paint job is flawless. I think this is your best work yet. I only wish I could see it in real life.

Amazing work. I really like the greenish tint to the metallics. Nice tatoos as well.

Lovely stuff! I love the colour shift on the armour, and the weapon just shines. Nice smooth painting on the skin, hair and cloth, also. Top notch.

Beautifully blended overall one of my top 3 picks for this month but I am a little unsure about the green on the bottom edge of the cloak/skirt. At first I thought it was representing a weathered metal seam but it seems to come and go so I am not quite sure what is happening there.

Another beautiful piece. Excellent job on weathering the armor.
