Well this is the model that's gonna be my entry for the LGS painting contest. This is my 1st PP model, compliments from Jubilee. The colour scheme is inspired by Automaton's dark elf GD entry which is on CMON now. Sorry if I did a bad job:imsorry:

Anyway here's the pic I took. The lighting wasn't ideal sadly and there's some supergule fogging on the base. Painting over it will solve this later. I would love to know what you guys think. Thanks for looking.

It looks cool! I like the dark, bleak skin colour. The cloak looks great too. The things that work slightly less good for me are: the green oxidation on the sword that comes out a bit stark compared to the very subdued colours surrounding it. Also the transition seems a bit abrupt; the hair which seems to be either very bright or very dark with very little inbetween (this might be a photography issue, but that's how it comes out in the pics); and finally, I would have liked to see some brighter and sharper highlights on smaller objects, like the belt, gloves, sword hilt, boots etc., so that the details stand out more instead of blending in with all the other dark, muted colours (this might also be a photography issue...).

Overall, a really good piece and I'm surprised you had time to do this with Iron Painter going on and all.

Not too keen on the pink lipstick, as I think it kind of clashes with the other colours on the mini. But the rest is just fabulous! Love the sword and the different tones of colours in the coat!

Great paintjob and also a very original and cool base! How in Schwiebel's name did you come up with something like that???:D
The NMM and tones look very, vey nice but I agree with Ritual that the green is a bit too green in contrast with the rest. Then again, I can imagine it looks better IRL and that the photo makes it look very bright.
Your Photofu is almost as bad as Maestro's :tongue2:

Thanks for the feedbacks. Noted the point about the green oxidation. The hair however, I have to say that the pic took away all the work that was done on it. There's alot of contrast there as well as on the little details pointed out by Ritual.

Also the lipstick which appeared pink to Maestro is actually purple. And the cut on here right cheek is hardly visable. I'll try to see if I can squeeze out a better pic.

Yeah my photofu is really as good as none. The base is from microart studio.

Is the base homemade or bought?
