Nice work, these look clean and tidy, with smooth blending. The bases are interesting too :) welcome to the forums!

Welcome :)
Dwarf :
like the base - realy good one - shame that dwarf dont stand same lvl - is to dirty (matalicks are dirty end dull / flat) red hairs lack of definicion
over all is nice work but it is moderate mini on good base

Nectomancer is a Superb mini on a good base end bout well painted - best minis of yours end worst photo :)


serceres - green is not your best color . unluckly this leady got a lot of green on herself

over all - i woud advice to train some value paintings so your minis would "pop" - now they look some how flat

Hello and welcome.

Your minis look very nice, and the dwarf must be my favorite of them all.

The necromancer just begs for some extra-deep shading, to make it a low-key miniature with only some eyecatching highlighted focal points. The green you used for shading just doesn't work right...

The sorceress - her clothes are draped so nicely that I wonder why you used only so limited contrasts there. They would look fantastic with some more tinkering with lights and shadows.

just a quick example. not perfect because I did it in a couple of minutes but gives some kind of idea of what I meant...

and tell me, please, is it only the photo or did the sculptor give the girl a very ugly face? :think:

the dwarf is much better and more interesting as far as your work goes! :clap:

Thank you very mutch for all comments. I will try to do figures more contrasting. ...
I have a problem with contrast, when I paint with oil colours and clothes of sorceress is that example....other things are painted all with acrylic colours :)

Mahon, thanks for good example of contrast on the photo. I bought bad cast in sorceress face. Here is a photo of her sculpt ...
