Wow, really nice work. great detail, smooth blends and I love the glowing letters on his sash.

Fantastic attention to detail and great blends for the skin. I think maybe the copper staining on the braclets is a bit too heavy though as the rest of him seems so clean but then it could be just me. Nice work :D

Great blends! I think what I like the most is how clean and crisp it is.

From: Deane P. Goodwin (MinipainterUS) (Tue 26 Jul 2005 05:23:54 PM CDT)
Very subtle and well executed color here. The blue lettering seems to need a bit of cleaning up, but that may just be the picture.

Superior piece! Thanks for the detailed write-up. The skin is blended so well it looks like airbrush work.

Howdy - just amazing. Of particular interest are the blue leters, the petina, and the flesh/fur. Good gravy this is nice piece. peace

Wow, this is fantastic. The skin in particular, so smooth and rich. Love the detail of the little cut. The bracelets and stone are also standouts, and I like the base too.
