Oath complete! Claiming sun's out for the OSL.

I had a lot of issues with this guy from the point of priming, and he was also the first mini I've used an airbrush on, so I'm not super happy with the results but whatevs he's done!

This is going to start rough, but it gets better, I promise.

I'm not a big fan of the stone texturing on this paint job. I think maybe your wash was a little too harsh on the flatter surfaces, although it works well for the crevasses. All that said, this isn't just a nice OSL job; what I love about this is the attention you paid to your light sourcing. You've got a model with some pretty complex geometry, but you've done a superlative job making sure that two (!) separate light sources are accurately casting highlights across the piece. The shoulders and the knuckles of the mini's right hand are particular favorites. Theme-wise, I feel like this is the strongest piece of the month.

Wow thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback and fwiw I 100% agree with you about the texturing on the stone. I started off with one coat of nuln oil which was pretty good, but then got overzealous with a coat of agrax which muddied it up a bunch. I spent a while after that trying to correct my mistake and ended up over applying washes as a result.

In any case, lessons learned!
