Hey guys,

I completed this guy (metal figure) for a friend of mine on youtube. This is the first every space wolf I have painted and I wanted to try and find a medium mix of colours so he wouldn't look out of place either by the bluish space wolves, or the greyish painted space wolves.

There is SO much detail on this guy.... Please take a second to leave a comment here or on youtube...

How did you pull off that ice effect on the base? I like that. Well done on the whole.

Yes! That's the water/ice effects! The model looks absolutley gorgeous, and the resin(?) water/ice effect is the icing on the cake.

Very good to be sure. The ice, while a good effect, does not quite look as good as the more standard painted model, which I think detracts from it... the model might be better off on a mundane base.

You make Njal difficult (though not impossible) for me to hate. Stellar work. Those runes make me sick, and fill me with an envious rage. Well done.

I like the color between the blue green and yellow alot.

1 thing you can fix really fast is at 0:00 it seems like the black wash on his back ( the gray area highlighted ) can be cleaned up alittle.

This is a awesome model!
Can you perhaps teach me how you painted the runes with the glowing effect? They look sick!

That is quite good.

My only nitpick is the snow seems to be of a larger scale than the mini.
