lol, Review this model for me! Artistic freedoms aside, tell me where I did good and where I totally did wrong!

Need to get clearer photos.

I would agree photos seem slightly grainy. You need to increase the amount of ambient light (or use a flash) as I imagine your camera used a high iso (which causes graininess).

I really like the pose Got the robotic running motion nicely down. Although if I HAD to critique the pose it would be the sword arm. In that in a sprint motion you wouldn't be holding your sword out. But then the sword out is a better look aesthetically I can't comment on the paint job as I haven't painted a model in years.

the pose is just how it comes, the Farsight model leaves you with like 0 options on anything, but thank you. ^_^

and yeah.... i need a better camera in general, i just used my phone. will borrow my friend's camera later today and take new pics soon as i can get it back from the local guy that commissioned it. lol

The paint job looks good, albeit simple. It looks like there's a small amount of edge highlighting and maybe a very light wash?

For tabletop, this is excellent. To take it beyond that, I'd pronounce the highlights and shadows a bit more, and some zenithal lighting. This looks like a perfect piece to try out two-brush blending, so long as you thin your highlights appropriately.

With what I can see on the those pictures I think we lose some of the details for the "vents". The blue is too dark for the red surrounding it.

Maybe lighten tthe blue or turn to a grey instead for the "vents" would make the detail pop out a bit more.

I'd like to give you a better critique, but photos need more lighting. Try making sure nothing is in the background either. I mean the washer/dryer is actually a good place to take pics, but you have to make sure only white is in the background.

what i can make out, you should put a bit of time into the top of the head. It looks like you painted one of the segments white on it. but the segment isnt very clean / smooth.

Also the sword looks good, but not ace quality, If you would like to improve it, i suggest using several colors rather than 2or 3, using blue fading to white from the back to the face of the sword can be an upgrade
