Sharper highlights on edges of armour. Contrast between the armour (green) and horns (ivory). The turquoise and sienna hues on the axe. <br /><br />Photography as well: a slightly gloomier background might make the figure more characterful and atmospheric. <br /><br />That said, I really like the John Blanche-esque dirtiness. He has discussed his approach on another blog, which you might like: <br /><br />http://spyglassasylum.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-deadly-art-of-blanchitsu.html<br /><br />Hope that helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303857809033694584.post-27122415173243184942012-02-09T09:57:26.466-08:002012-02-09T09:57:26.466-08:00anonymous: actually, it is.

In europe, they would just get up so they can catch it on the way to work.<br />Next morning I throw it on at 7 or 8 so readers in the us can check it.<br />The blogrolls are so insanely full of blog that post twice a day without saying much of anything. Blogs like SCWH who want to start conversations or inspire always snow under. On top of the blogroll means nothing. it's a moment, an hour later there will be 20 new posts.<br />Critical comments are great but make sure to leave your name<br /><br />SC MikeSC Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258905153733166390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303857809033694584.post-88785982590322736782012-02-09T09:36:19.155-08:002012-02-09T09:36:19.155-08:00Reposting multiple times keeps you at the top of b...Reposting multiple times keeps you at the top of blogrolls.

It's still a solid compilation of beautiful minis, but ratings are now meaningless to me.<br /><br />I love this mini and was considering using one as a chaos warrior for a Bloodbowl team.

Clearly this is solidly above tabletop quality. I dunno, I have a CMoN gallery up as well and some of my stuff gets surprisingly high marks (for what I was expecting) but then some of the stuff I really try to go the extra mile on gets terribly low marks.<br /><br />As for the SCWH writers painting one of these up?
