Ok so here is a photo of an arlequin I painted few month ago for a painting competition, and so.. I want to know what Dakka's guys think about it,
Tell me what can be better, if you want some others photos you can ask for it, and if this subject works I'll may open a new one for my Chapelain dreadnought.
If you wanna see this picture a bit better, go to my gallery and zoom, I think that is the best way to see the paint on it.
ENJOY !!

I think it looks awesome. Painting is very nice along with the custom aspect. I have never attempted anything of this nature nor am I able to paint well at all. This is truely great work.

Great blending and color choice. The mask is striking too.
Last but not least, great subtle base to accompany the great painted model.

This is actually the first Harlequin that I seem to like. The painting is great. Not so over the top.
Great work.

I have no critical things to say...only because this is painted above the standard that I could hope to match. I see no way of improving it. I'd say it's perfect as is. It's very clean and crisp and the colours are perfectly blended. The colour scheme is very harmonic and the colours flow fluidly from one to the next alluding to the fluidity Harlequin's movements...at least from the way I view it. It's less complicated that others without all the checkered and diamond patterns you see on most Harlequins. Others use these patterns to showcase their painting abilities but you have been able to do that without overcomplicating the figure. You have painted it with a fairly natural palate and it just looks...right. The only thing is that the base could be more exciting. Also as it does not really complement or fit in with the colours that you have used on the mini it stands out like a sore thumb.

The paintjob it of top level. The only color change I would like to see and this has nothing to do with the paintjob that like I said is perfect, is the tip of the pistol painted red. Red is a complementary color of green and I think it would look great as a highlight for the gun's edge.

All I can say about painting is that VMC tastes much better than VMA... especially black...

You paint job is very nice and unique. I like that green particularly, and the work on the blade. I am curious what is one the ground? Is that a severed limb? If so, it seems a little bland, like the blood needs more shading / highlighting. I actually find it kind of distracting whatever it is. The model is otherwise very sharp. Cheers.

Yes the thing on the ground is a severed limb. tomorow I'll post a photo of this base. I'm sorry but I can't do it today.
The problem with the blood is that I finished it too fast for the competition. But well ^^
Thank you guys for your critics, see you tomorow for the base photo !

Ok guys, I just come back home, and seeing that some of you had some question about the base I took a photo of it.
I tried a way to paint marble so tell me what you think about it !

Thanks for the 2nd picture. I was curious what you had on the base. I like how you did the power coil glow spilling onto the base. Also really like the color pallete you chose. Solid work, nice work on the gems.

Excellent choice of color!! Works very well!
Not too big of a fan of the blood .... but the marble effect looks pretty cool.
What color did you use for the pink/purple/magenta??

Another interesting thing is your marble technique for the base. White primed plasticard with some layers or black wash?
If you want to show your WIPs you can start theads in the Painting and Modelling section (the first of the four P&M sub sections) or you can start a project log in the P&M blog section.

the color choice is really good! i also really like the mask
the marble effect on the tiles is pretty convincing  only thin i dont really like is the blood on the floor.
cant tell you how you could have done it better (maybe with clear red with a drop of black in there) but it looks a bit off...
still the model itself is stunning! really like the sword

thank you all for your comments !
@ Hyenajoe : for the marble I used as you said some plastic card, then I painted it in white, and I made some very thin lines in dark grey then I used a lot of very liquid white paint as a wash and then I did it again 3 or 4 times to have a depth effect.. ( I'm not sure we can see that on the photo. >< ) So that is the way I painted my marble..
And again if you wanna see my Harlequin better go to my gallery and zoom =D ( rates comments are welcome ! )

Definitely a new model from the Dark Vengeance set. GW often appreciates folks showcasing new models like that, and all the viewers love seeing something really new.
Another choice you might make is to consider the Chosen models from the DV boxed set as well. IMO they are just as spectacular as most HQ models, and might be a less-obvious choice, where other painters are more likely to gravitate to the HQs instinctively as you did.
You harlequin is great, BTW.
