I really appreciate the complements/comments. I do enjoy painting quite a bit, and I do hope that 10 years from now I can have the skills to be considered a top-notch painter. As such, I'm always trying out new things. With both Yan Lo and Chiaki, my main goal was to try out some object source lighting. While I think Chiaki's dress does look pretty decent, I would like to give it another shot to see if I can get it to look like I really want it to. I know I won't get it perfect, but I at least want to give it 1 more shot. I was not 100% happy with Yan Lo's OSL glow either, but I like it enough to keep it. I think if I can improve chiaki's dress a bit more, I can make it look really striking. I think if just stick with the lighter purples (and not make it extend too far up) that will improve it a lot. We will see though. Right now, I'm trying to finish my other 2 ashigaru. I tend to jump around on models a lot. I generally tend to have lots of 50-75% complete models, lol. I get bored, then switch to something else.
