Everything on the miniature except the face is stunning, but somehow I don't like the face....To me it just seems as though with your skills there would be a bit more contrast...is it a WIP?

However, other than that, everything is top-notch. The NMM is particularly amazing :yay:

Golden NMM is weak IMO.
Good work on clothes :)

Nope. It's the finished miniature.
I'm painting a shield for him at this moment. Maybe tomorrow it will be ready.

Yeah, face is not good, but I had problems with it so I decided to stop painting face and go on with other parts.

Great work, on him! I love the base, it adds a lot to the miniature :)

this is probably the original sculpting but the face looks a bit chubby
apart from that the rest of the model is stunning :)

As you said, it's because of the sculpting.
Thanks guys for your comments :) I really appreciate it.

Loving that Gil Galad mate! Nice NMM,

Dont really fancy the dirt on the cloak because, to me, elves dont get dirty. But again, thats just me being silly.

Good stuff SkymaN! Please more. 8)

Nice choice of colours ;)

As far as the NMM goes, give silver more contrast. Armour, well...you should start wit darker shade, plus you really need to think about how would it reflect light ;) Than it would look more natural.

Other than that very nic mini, I especially like cape ;)

Great work! The NMM is simply fantastic, the blending is very smooth. The cloak also looks great, the shading and highlighting are very nice. The base doesn't quite match the quality of the miniature, but it gets the jon done an certainly has a foresty look to it. Keep up the awesome work! 8)

:? The chain mail is NMM? TO me it looks exactly like real metallics. Great job on him, I have always liked this mini. 8) I actually like the base, at least it's a very good tt base. (I'm not sure what standard you were trying to achieve with this.)

Skin on this one is a lot better than it was on Gil-Galad...everything is excellent. The NMM is amazing as usual, I just went Thraka Green with envy.....can't seem to get the hang of that. Keep up the great work :yay:

Looks good. I really like the cloak! :yay: Oh and the chainmail. Well done. My only criticism is that the NMM on the gold might be a bit too dark in places. but still. :yay: 8)
