    I never said it was the base to be honest, I didn't really clock it till just now. It was more the way you use lighting and your highlight style. But I think it is hard for the people who have been in the painting competition for any length of time not to recognize each other's little signatures in places. I did not even think it might be taken as a negative that I spotted it right out - because I earnestly meant the paint job - not the base. Sorry if that came off wrong!

    Excellent work on the rust effects. While I know the model is the focal point, I always feel like a plain base robs the model of a story. I think it could up the overall feel a bit to add a bit of narrative to the base with some real simple decoration.

    Very clean and an overall beautiful paint job. Just my personal taste, but I feel like going to dark on the photo can swallow up details at times. It’s very atmospheric, but I want to see all of it

    As soon as I saw this I knew who painted it because I have envied their use of lighting for a long time. God that directional highlighting is so dang good. Beautiful work as always!

    That base! Man. So good. The light from below is sooooo good. I love the whole thing, but the story you’ve created with it is amazing

    Love the freehand, love the base, love the colors… wonderful composition

    I love the pipes. A very moody piece and lovely to look at. Another incredibly clean Envy in a mess of amazing Envies.

    I agree with the previous comment. A bit higher on the highlights for the metal would help it read more as metal and separate it from the smoke, for example.

    I absolutely love the green/gold armor. That is such a striking color. The balance of color in the composition is also really eye pleasing.

    I love the horse SO much. Beautiful weathering. The sword is spot on as well.

    I can 100% tell this is a wicked good paint job, but I agree that the photos hurt you a little. Zoomed in just blurred the details, which is a shame because I’m pretty sure they are top notch!

    I love the battle worn look and the set up! Rock, smash!

    The weathering is spot on. Perhaps go with slightly lower lighting to reduce the glare effect. I think it takes a bit away from the presentation in my opinion.

    With the frame of reference I think you did a pretty good job of pulling it off! I wouldn’t have thought of even trying that effect, so good on you for thinking outside the box!

    I had a nice chuckle at your setting, Ototo hovering over a rabbit. Hope he ain’t thinking about dinner!

    This works really well compositionally. Great job on the pig skin and we’ll placed highlights.

    I have to agree on both counts with the gentlemen above. Absolutely world class skill on the metals. The execution is so good one can’t help but be impressed. But, as @Hawkoon noted, the eye does feel like it doesn’t have a focal point because there’s nothing to counterbalance the metal. Again, this is like pointing out a mm size spot in the Sistine Chapel.

    Great overall composition. I think all the elements really work well together. It might be fun to try and add a drip effect with the blood on the ?stinger? Next time

    The level of shine is bonkers! And I love the glow from the mouth. Excellent work!

    Such a beautiful job. Man. Everything about this is so clean and smooth, it feels machine precision.

    100% agree with the others, that chip damage is ace!

    You nailed the weathered effect!

    Nice color choices. I agree with the previous note, work on pushing the contrast with the shadow areas and it will makes this even better!

    Heavy23

    Agreed on the OSL - it really brings the composition together and it masterfully done.

    Absolutely stellar. This is such a clean job, I just stared at it a while trying to find my favorite details. Beautiful.
