I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, although now it has been blown up to 4x it's regular size i can see loads of dodgy brushwork :S

C&C appreciated, especially the negative stuff

I think this came out well. The blue on the robes looks really good. I think a different color for the skin (instead of pink) would offset the balance in a positive way. Right now I think the pink skin is too close to the pink at the bottom of the robes and it doesn't pop the way it should. Still, a solid effort. Robes look really good. The bone on the staff and the scrolls turned out good. I think the flames could use a little work. They seem to be reversed (i know it Tzeentch, but...). Flames are whitest/brightest at the center, where there is more heat, and black or darker at the tips.

Just some constructive criticism. Hope I don't come off to harsh, I think you did a solid job. You just said, "C&C appreciated, especially the negative stuff," so

I like it. I agree about the flames, but I didn't really notice it until you pointed it out, Moltar. Honestly, flames never look right on a mini anyway, so I wouldn't sweat it too hard. It's a very dynamic, flowing model, and I think it looks pretty sweet.

Tzeentch. Heresy. Too much colors for my taste! Though I must admit the pink is gorgeous.

(How did you do the scriptures on the scroll? Micron pen?)

The pink doesn't look as bright in real life as it does in the photo, maybe i should have spent a bit more time mucking about with the camera before posting the pics i had taken already. I agree about the flames though, they were the last thing i painted and just wanted to get the mini finished
You don't come off harsh at all.
Too many replies in this forum are just simple one-liners 'great work mate!' or 'Nice one '. I think it would be much better if people criticised more.... in a constructive way of course

What's a micron pen? I used a standard brush and very thinned down black paint for the scriptures. The only trick to getting nice thin streaks of black on parchment is to not press too hard with the brush: Yes, it's annoying when it looks like nothing is actually being painted on but trying to 'force' the paint onto the surface will just leave you with big smudges. And no-one likes big smudges :S
