Looking good my friend. for some reason I have the song "I only have Eyes for you" floating through my mind when I look at him.

Have you ever worked with Inks or highlighting. With a few simple passes of the paintbrush you could really bring this guy to the next level. Just a sugestion/question for ya.

i would use chestnut ink on the armour, and then use a mithril silver on the edges/tips
I would also use a dark ink on the cloak and then drybrush snake bite leather over it with a final drybrush of 50/50 Snake bite and bleached bone

Its looking good though – look forward to more!

The black ink on the fur of his cloak is definately one thing I was thinking of. After the inking on the fur clock I would go over it with a very light drybrush/highlighting of a light tan colour. Not sure what brand of paints you use. For the Red cloak I would use a brown or red ink depending on if you want it to look dirty or not and then once again a very light drybrush of a lighter shade of red.

On the skin I would use a light ink of some sort of chesnut or light brown ink to really bring this bad boy to life. If you want the more ghastly look than use a 2/1 mix of water and Green ink and then highlight with a putrid flesh or some form of off white/pink colour.

Hope that helps,
Servo

CaRRRRRRstein... CaRRRRRRstein... Roll the 'R' Come on now, says it with meh!

Nice job, although I would say strip the paint on isabella and try a much thinner coat... do 3:1 paint:water if you need. Layers take time, but ensure results.

She is spose to have the thick look to her since her dress is modeled off the old court dressers of the middle ages, they where all very heavy and thickly made.

That should be done w/ GS or such, and I meant on her face, skin, etc..

Ifyou aspire to be a staffer, you need honest criticism, and your paint is too thick.

Old court dresses or not (european history major, I know them) the 'thick' effect therein would be achieved best by modeling and putty. Thick paints only makes your overall job sloppy looking and obscures detail, and your talent and skill may be un-honed yet, but it's there and it deserves better.

may be a daft question, but: what are you using to draw your corpse cart?
i only ask because it looks like you are using the zombies that come with the cart as regular zombies
