Hi peeps thought I'd share a couple of pics of my last commission for you to muse over.

Having painted loads of High Elves in my time i must say Dark Elves are at least 2 times better to paint, great models and fingers crossed I get to do more in the future.

**Requiem**

Cool stuff! great work on the skintone

**Dreadclaw69**

Fantastic

Its nice to see some fantasy figs here, especially when they're so well painted.

**Bewareofthephil**

Very nice and clean!

**Devoted of Slaanesh**

Great paint job, but the models are so lame IMO. They look like robots or clones. Bad idea GW.

**Elnibbus**

I love the new Dark Elf models and you've done a really good job on these.

**Demigod**

Nice Druchii force!

**Dr. Bizarre**

Yep. I love the DE models. The uniformity works well for disciplined elves.

**troa**

Very nice.

**Necro**

Awesome work.

**Sirzachary**

Great work! I must figure out how you did the flesh tone! All in all, I'm jealous. =)

**martindavidhall**

Sirzachary flesh is:
rakarth flesh basecoat.
shaded with agrax earthshade.
drucci violet shade (around the eyes).
Then highlighted with rakarth/vallejo game colour ghost grey.
Simples

**Sirzachary**

Thanks mate! I greatly appreciate it, and will try to duplicate the process on my own Druchii.

Brilliant, I've been doing my flesh as rakarth - druchii violet- rackarth with pallid wych for highlights but its still a bit too purple. I'll definitely be giving this a try.

Sharp, in every sense of the word!
