Subject: I challenged myself again....a ton of skin to paint.... whatcha think?
This is my second Reaper mini that I have painted... I wanted to challenge myself due to the scale of this fig but also the amount of skin to paint....
Comments here or on youtube is appreciated!

It's not bad, but it's not the best thing I've seen out of you.
The base is just not that good, however. I don't know what you tried to achieve with it, but it looks like a bunch of blue lines. If it was water, I would try some water effects and close it in with some cardboard.

Probably because of the water sounds, he tried something like shes standing on a rock in the ocean or something like that. And if it is water it doesnt look to good imho (the reflection).

Basing aside, the model itself very good. My only nitpik is that her buttocks seem a bit flat the way they are hilighted. Then again, when do any of us really get practice at painting butt cheeks? I would like to see a closeup still photo of the face and the hair hilghts if possible.
Thanks so much for your honest comments. I always hold my opinions back so you guys can honestly give me yours. I think I too can do better on the skin and on the base; however, she still turned out really nice. IMO.
