Sounds like you're still working on the cape, but I would say it looks very flat compared to the leather armor. Seems like the reason is because the leather has much more contrast (darker shadows, lighter highlights) whereas the cloak doesn't have the same extremes.

I agree with panda on this one, but it needs a bit more highlighting to make it pop. Good work so far :D I think the metallics on the sword could be a bit more neater to distinguish the edges of the blades :)

Part of the base that is getting blurry is their is multiple tiny leaves on the ground. May have to rehit it with my sealant as its still looking shiner then I want it to be.

The base is awesome, i love the little details. The green cloak at the back is nice, i'd still like to see a few more layers of highlights and shades on the brown parts, but good job :)

Yeah, this type of outfit should look more worn out, greyish on all edges.
At least the hood would strongly benefit from highlights.
Difficult also to distinguish between leather, fur, and wood - thay are all painted the same.

The base, however, is a different story. Great job here :clap:
To match the mini and the base in quality, a few hours of painting should do.

agreed with all the comments so far.
also (perhaps it's photo issue), he looks like he's toppling over. you might want to check him from all angles and change position slightly.
this might be my favourite paintjob of yours :)

I like it a lot, as for the position i think if he had a tree or something in front of him, it seemed that he was in stealth mode, so nice one
