It seems that the NMM will turn out pretty nice. Maybe some white higlights on sharper edges would be any good?
The verdigris efect worls really nice, though it makes the mini look a bit messy - but hey, isn't it what you wanted :P

the black beard CAN work well, but you will have to highlight it more to make it interesting. otherwise it will turn into a shapeless thing.

I know how small this mini is, so such a closeup is a sign of your courage :army: - good job :clap:

Hi Tyler,

It is a really interesting approach. For the forst look the armor looks a bit odd, but the more I'm watching, the more I like it. Really good effect on the oxidation and weathering.

As for the beard, I can second what Mahon said: if you put a some more highlights on it, it can work really well.

Hi Tyler, welcome!:D

i agree on what have been said about the beard.
A nice idea to improve your photos is ot use an uniform background, like a Tshirt or a white paper.

I like the oxidation on the armor very much, great job!:D

Hi! :)

I think you should keep the black beard and ,like others said, highlight it more. A brown beard would look too much like the armour I think. I agree with Endrem on the armour, the first impression is a bit messy, but the more you look at it, the better it looks.

Good job :)
