that's what I wanted to say - it looks like you got focus on the back wall.

anyway - I love this piece. one of your best, I think. clean paintjob (as for you), yet it carries some dirty, rugged feel to it.
poster on the wall is a nice addition, and I dig the green weathering/moss/vegetation around the door. simple, not overloaded, but nice dio which tells story by its own.
otoh - blood on the sword doesn't look convincing, and I'm waiting for better pics to see his face

the pirate pics are taken right now and in the meantime - what do you think about white background?

Much better photo! Now it allows us to appreciate the paintjob on this guy!
Cool face and there's even a reflection of light in his eye! Isn't it the most detailed face you've ever painted?

perhaps it's just me, but I miss some stronger highlights here.
mid-nor - can we see other colours from you? dwarf looks cool, but I think you used that greenish scheme on nurgle armour recently, and earlier too, IIRC (some cryx?)

he would have some new paints to use them

yeah, that's what I am usually worried about...

indeed it took me some time to paint the face - all these small details, totally nothing like golf ball-eyes from gw;
because of that I am even more happy I managed to paint the reflections and not screw the eyes!

not gona argue about it - it's probably teh best red I managed to achieve so far but shading/highlighting the model was like a walk thru the minefield - ruining red is veeery easy and I didn't want the pirate wear orange-ish of pink-ish clothes

Nameless wrote:mid-nor - can we see other colours from you?

sure! check the red model on upper pic

not really to be frank - I started with different base colors, but apparently I must really like this version of zombie flesh
I'll try sth different on the next mid nor - promise

Very cool dio, love the sense of motion conveyed in it.

thanks Wraith!

good idea Ana! unfortunately I have no materials for it at my place
but I have some other minis to paint and also more barrels to use...

@Nalemess: alive enough?
