No real metalics for me. Just a preference I guess.

I like the NMM work on the front side of the model. I think the back side could use more contrast, particularly on the axes.

It's looking good but i feel your Grey NMM is much like mine, requiring more other colour and contrast. I'd recommend trying to glaze over some of the grey areas in a blue or purple colour and then darken some of the shaded areas and highlighting some of the edges where the light picks up, up to pure white. I think that would give you a more convincing grey nmm. As Mahon said, the gold in particular is very convincing and sneaky :D good stuff.

I was going for psycho red faced dwarf. :D I do feel I need to add some purple glaze to the face.

As for the base I am going to add the typical snow/ice thing.. I am going to try adding in ice covered plants but I need some time to try out some ideas I have been only thinking about.

The only remark i do is about the horn, i think its too simple and dosent fit with the rest, some shadows or drawings would look great other than that i like the red "rage" face dwarf :clap:

I was shooting for red faced psycho dwarf. Added some purple to the face deepened the shadows on the back, abdomen and face. I fixed up the NMM on the back of the fig.

Not sure what I am going to do with the horn.
