Elf bust finished

How to convert or sculpt a miniature? How to make a decent base or even a full diorama?!

OK, this one is much much better than the marine in my opinion. very much like native american (or north american indian for some), which is just fine for what a wood elf should look like to me.

not quite sure about the lower lip and don't know if the hair is "painter friendly" enough though...

I agree with Mahon on this one, it is very native american in my eyes too and the detail on it is superb. I think with the lips in general his mouth is a little big for his face. Still a good piece, how long has this one been going on for? and is that going to be a quiver on his back?

oh yes, much better than SM. and more interesting :)
again - I'm not a sculptor. but, if I may suggest something, I'd say you should try to make separate elements of your sculpts more distinct. take a look at feathers at his chest or his braids. it seems as if they are merged with his clothes beneath.

@mahon: thanx a lot... you're right for the lip, but I tried a thinner one and the result didn't fit my hope, too strict I think...
@artica: due to my 2 babies, I've not much time to sculpt, so this one has been worked in 6 weeks, representing about 20 hours (right, I'm a slow guy....) of work. and well, you can see the arrows ;)
@nameless: Obviously you're right... I'll try to reinforce the lining while painting it...
