Nice freehand, and I love the slime.

How big is this thing? It seems to be at least a 54mm mini.
The things I really like are the NMM patterns, the base, and the face. what I am less entusiastic about is the way you highlighted black. but it's a tough color, and everybody knows it...
Good job and an interesting mini

The freehand is great, also the face is really good but the side with green stuff on it looks kind of unfinisfed - it's very rough or maybe it's the foto.

And the slime ..... very realistic

the freehand is great, but what I also like is the way you painted the black

Great freehand and very nice face...scary look

I can only second the others: the freehand and the slime is great, although the green thingie on the face seems to be rough. Maybe it tries to represent that he was hit by the slime...?

The red tones and the boots are also nice.

I love that piece! Saw it on your website a few days ago, great job!

Thanks for the comments.
Its probably the piece Im most proud of to date and also my highest scoring at cmon 8.9.

@Mahon......he is 47mm

The green on the side of his face was done to emphasize the sullen look the figure has.When you look from the other side it looks like he is hanging his head as if he has something to hide.I wanted a mutated look.It does look rough.I actually used neat paint to create a texture,maybe a bad idea for photo purposes now I think about it.The green has 3 shades to it.

The black was very tough.I used loads of washes over the black undercoat.Blues and reds mainly.This gives a sort of shimmer to it in real life but does leve it flat for pics.The highlights are harsh and my attempt at trying to make the leather look shiny.I think it works to an extent,but is too harsh in places.

a great piece ! I love the face and the red parts coming out from under his coat. the coat itself isn't my favourite though. The highlights on the edges are way too harsh, and contrast too much with the super smooth paintjob on the face and on the red parts.
