2 new pics of Naomi. Bit of painting been done, and I sculpted the base. I couldn't get good pics of the base though.

I started something new - 15mm scale mutant spider called Gargantoid (from Demonworld game). Sculpted by Werner Klocke, btw.

Oh, the spider will carry a tower full of goblins, so it's not full assembled yet

There are some ugly gaps in the model:

good begin.....the general eefect is very realistic

and what do you think of a little bit more shadows on skin

As what i can see(but i may be wrong beacouse the pictures are so small) you need to add more water to paint and add more layers. Naomi looks for me dirty , also don't like her skintone(it's not enough vampiric for me), and the face is very strange.The whole mini doesn't have a focus(something that woould catch my eye).
If you want more complex comment please post bigger pictures, these are way to small.
I'm curius how you want to paint that big spider?Fur-drybrush ?

And I'm also waiting when you'll finish display for andrea orc and post some bigger pictures of it.

I really like the black cloth. It suits this mini by being greyish/fade. Nicely done. The skin is a bit too basic IMO. Try to shade it a bit more. And I hope you are adding some colorwashes to the tombstone :p
Also the blue cloak I don't like. It looks too rough and the transitions are too harsh.

yo!
Yeah now the pic is even to big:D
i'm just trying to break the chains of tabeltop painting so i have to search for all flaws.Many things i wrote about your painting i have to aply in my own painting.
So :
-blue is very bad highlighted it looks dirty
-black/grey -i know that highlithning this colour is very hard but you didnt manage to do it right
-skin as i said is not enough vampiric for me , if i can suggest some mixture(jakob nielsen mix):dawrf flesh mixed with green ink(more ink more greyish tone) than aply shadows using mixture of chestnut and purple ink(you have to try which proportions suit you better)
than again aply first mixture and make sucesive highlights using white up to pure white
-grave looks plastic-use washes

All the things i wrote are IMO and ofcourse i may be wrong(i/m a very weak painter):D
and i wont be mad if you just throw my sugestions to garbage:D

p.s.
damn i cant recognize myself

cheers

yeah, yeah, hit poor Nameless right in his head

Thanks guys for comments, I much appreciate them.
Blue colour - I think problems result from a paint, not thinned enough. I have problems to get right consistency and am afraid to water it too much.
Skin - I painted it as human flesh (albeit quite pale skin it is), because I wanted to practice painting skin.
tomb is not finished yet. What washes would you suggest?

Primed model - sorry for pic, I'm too tired to bring another lamp and try to make better
