Just finished painting up The Lion. Any feedback is welcome!

Nice, he looks good dude! Like the basing and the helmet version.

0/10. No felines present.

Jests aside, I think you did a great job! The only thing is that the base feels a little one-note, but it's still clean work.

Cape looks really good, to be honest it’s hard to give you good feedback with the background. Can you take any better pictures with a neutral or black background that’s well lit?

Thanks for the feedback everyone, sorry my reply is delayed. I'll take some different pics soon with a better background.

The base was kind of a half-cocked idea to make it snowy. I will probably fix it up at some point.

And yeah, I mostly used the helmet because painting faces and skin is a weak point of mine, but also I really love his helmet!

I agree with comments on the background. Having a clean background that doesn't distract goes a long way.

First of all it looks really good! If you wanted to try and take it to the next level I'd recommend using some washes on the gold and highlighting the green. The colors are good but that added contrast can add a lot of realism and depth.
