My local game store is doing a secret Santa painting competition. You submit your bare model, and pick up some ones model at random to paint, while some one else paints yours. I drew the High Elf Wizard model. Most of my paint jobs are a few notches better than bare minimum, so this is the most work I have ever put into a model before, about 20 hours worth. I hope the kid that submitted this model likes what I have done with it. The little note I got with the model requested that I "Think Blood Elf". Hopefully I pulled it off. Even painted his eyebrows.

EDIT: Pictures taken by Jon Johansson

OMG!!!! HE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! my dreams have now been crushed due to the severity of the awesomeness of this model =_=

I really like it. I'm quite fond of bright colors on figures

Fantastic job bud.

Really good

My only suggestion would be to use a bit of a harsher highlight on the face to really make it pop, maybe a wash around the eyes to bring them back a little...

But really nice job, I do love bright colour schemes!

nice but it seems he could use a bit more shading

I think allot of the shading was lost in the picture due to lighting. I really need to work on taking better pictures. There was a wash on the face, though now it seems that it was still to light of one.
