nice and clean, How did you do the gold, Id like to recreate it as my gold painting is always too thick

Water and patience.

Mix a little water into your gold, and apply it thinly. Then build it up. I used to do exactly the same thing, but it pays to take it slow.

Personally, I go for 2/3 coats of shining old, then a light black wash, then burnished drybrush, followed by 50/50 mithril/burnished gold highlight.

I like it, it looks super clean. The only suggestions I'd have is to thicken out the omega on the pauldron. You did a great job of making it look sharp and clean but it would look much better if you were able to make it more stylized.

Stylised? How do you mean?

Also, admin, could you move this post to the showcase please? I think I put it in the wrong one.
