Loving that sword and her hair. Also really like the overall color pallet.

Eyes seem a little wide, but still better than what I can do, just being a little nitpicky since I consider you to be on an higher tier of painter skills and would prefer the nitpicky critique.

The crystal is really nice too.

You really need to start doing some more tutorials on your website.

I LOVE how you did the snow on Cullen's cape and boots. That's a great touch!

I like everything about them especially the choice of colours and the freehand on the dress. ::):

Wow. These are great. I love the freehand you have done on Lysette especially. The wolf is excellent and also all the snow is done well too. I can kind of understand what you mean about the fleshtones, but if I had your problem with it, I would be happy.

Very nicely done!

Both of these figs came out really fantastic. I especially like the freehand on her dress and the way that you did the snow on his cape and boots. The colors that you've chosen for both of these is great.

Lysette came out wonderfully...can you share the colors on her skirt?

I wanted to compliment on the freehand, but then I saw the face and wanted to compliment on it too. But then I saw the sword, the hair, the staff... this paintjob is just flawless, even perfect - I think it's impossible to squeeze more out of that mini.

I really like those color you used for steel on Cullen's Sword. Are those bottled colors? If so, which ones? If you'd care to share I'd like to add them to my recipe collection. I know you use alot of tube paints though. Just a wonderful, realistic stainless steel type of look on that blade, I would like to try and emulate it. :)

Also Lysette looks great, the color choices work very well together, freehand is a nice touch.

Lysette is lovely, like everyone else I'm really enjoying the freehand, which is very nicely suited to the sculpt and the main colours you used. The face is superb, and I really like the subtle blue sky reflection on the sword.

:blink:
I'm in awe...
I have so got to get together with you some time and paint... just to watch and see what you do.
oh..
great work...
wow...

The other two look great as well. Your browns are so smooth... looks like coffee... wonderful work.
You can't divide by zero, but you can fake it.

For the Sword NMM color this is one I have now been using for a few weeks I like well. And its not entirly tube color stuff. Its Reapers Pro Armour Gray as the base. With titanium white.
For the sky effect on the top part of the blade I used reaper pro Slate. I am still a fan of many of the Reapers pro colors even though they many times are heavy with paintworms they still find a big place among my paints.

For the skirt I used Reapers MSP Highlands Moss, with some lightening with titanium white.

Hey Rob thats for sure your welcome any time ::):

Next time I go to hobby lobby in a week I will pick up some tube paint raplacement and I will get a new to try.
