Chest of Colors forum

Hi everyone,

It's my 1st historical figure and my 1st piece > 30 mm scale. It's 65 mm to the eyes.
I painted it with acrylics and oils. Hope you'll like it ! All criticismes are welcome.

Welcome on Forum
i see you handle the 65nn scale better then you 30mm minis (checked on CmoN )

the part that stands out is blue fabric - looks unfinished compared to the purple / skin
gold metal is mettalicks + oil paints or some other tech ??

I really like the way you dealt with light on his face and the purple cloak.

Maru is right about the blues - they're not as good as purples. They seem to be lacking some of the richness and shadows.
I am also afraid that the dust on the shoes is a bit too strong and using a bit less of it would make the shoes look better. Now it completely covers the paintjob there...

Not sure about the light on his left forearm... looks a bit too strong for me. It's about as strong as on his face, while it seems it could be a bit weaker...
Might be the photo though...

Yeah, the blue is popping out too much, especially that it should be in the shadow of the outer cloak.
But besides this, I really like your paintjob. As said already before, the purple is superb.

Hi, this is a cool paintjob
Especially I like the head.
If I was to correct anything it would be to pull the shadow on the end of the violet cape higher and make the transition to the dark slower. I like how you put the light on the shoulders.
Unfortunately the blue fabric looks to me like you had no idea for higlighting I would give him a direction.

I agree with the comments above but I'd also like to see more highlites on the scale armour, it looks too dark to my eyes.
