My very first comission work, and I am really happy how he turned out.

Can you take pictures in more natural light? Now the flash changes lot of the colours in the miniature.

Sorry but I cant. The photo will be to dark. SoI need to take it with the flash. And it dident change the colours. Only the robes are lighter then in person.

I love the feathers. I've always done feathers from black/brown to white, but that blue is sweet~.

Eyes are too flat splotches. They make the whole figure look like you can't paint a bit.
And the cloak's shades are too dark compared to that overall bleached bone (?) colour. I suggest you try some colours between these two colours too or otherwise it just looks incomplete.

This is how i take photos from my models:

About 8.00-10.00 or 19.00-21.00 at this moment sun doesn't shine too much and no need to use flash and i get enough satisfacting pictures. That Island of Blood box (yeah, almost every box can do this) just cause it gives flat white background.

And about your painting: Green looks good, enough layers and highlights, blue feathers and shoulder pad (or what ever it is) looks very nice too. And that power sword, i love it! Gotta try make something like yours because my blending looks awful. And like already said, that cloth needs more mixing like Brown-Bleached bone 100-0 -> 75-25 -> 50-50 -> 25-75 and 0-100. Yeah, it might feel it takes long time, but its actually quite quick job and looks really good. And small white dots on eyes.

Thx for the coments.
BloodyElf. Here is the link on how to paint the sword. http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/sho ... hp?t=83872
This tipe of power sword is my favorite. I painted it like that on my own SM guys.
