Let me know what you guys think. I did this for a friend.

Amazing! How did you make the transitions between blue, black and purple?

Very flat looking, the colours look flat and powdery, model Need some brush work and deepth

The blue ethereal spirits look really good, but the purple and bone both look unfinished; the armoured parts in particular need shadows and highlights.

The armor and bone was left like this for an effect. He is like a 100000000000000000 years old lol. Thanks for the compliments/criticism they are both needed and appreciated.

I think it would be great as a base, but much work still to a great result. I agree that it looks like the desktop, and more needs to be deepened painting. Shading better, more contrast between light and shadow, etc. Precisely because he is so very old, needs more patina. Only personal opinion :-).

Much appreciated

Looks really good. I see the effect you're going for with the age of the model, a dusty/ancient look. I think just adding some lighter purple highlights to the edge of the armor and a gloss/satin varnish would make a world of difference. Possibly even a sepia wash.

I think he looks fantastic mate, you should be proud. I don't know what drugs Arkhareon is smoking, there are alot of worse paintjobs out there.

I agree with this. it looks like only the bone got a wash.

dump half a pot of badab black into your airbrush and spray that bish down.

Love it. A little flat, but I get what you were going for. A solid paint job, I'd certainly be proud of it.

You are certainly right, it's a nice job, and there are a lot worse. I just thought this has great potential to be even better. But as I said, just my personal drugged opinion

I like the dry look of the model. The colours are really well done. I would probably highlight here and there to add some depth.
