Mysterious artefact found on a frozen planet! Who will keep it for yourself - humans or eldar?
My commissioner wanted `something Ayana-styled`... So, i made this corsair prince for him. Btw, no airbrushing were used.

Jaw.....meet floor...... This may be the best paint job Ive ever seen.... the detail on the cloak and flags is miraculous...

Do you have any work in progress shots of this project?

1) that motteld effect is brilliant!! and the detail and smoothness of the blends is mindbowing!

How did you do the cloak?

I guess, this is called `stipling`, or so.

The model is most certainly amazing. May I ask how much time you have invested in it?

Fantastic!

I don't normally like NMM, especially over a whole model, but this is amazing.

And I like the textured look to the cloak too.

:O.

I hate you. Just make that clear. BUt only from a purely jealous point of view. You are insanely good

And now I want to stop painting cos my stuff will always look crap....

I don't like the armour, everything else is lovely and everything is superb on a technical level but I just don't like the armour. I just think it is too much. If it were just the helmet andthe armour were in a contrasting colour I think I would prefer it.

This is just my own personal tastes though, do not take it as a criticism as you are incredibly skilled.

Simply gorgeous.

I wish I had something constructive to offer, but I don't - this is as near perfection as I think you can get when painting a mini (whether you like NMM or not). The freehand is great, too. Just an amazing piece.

Great work, but the mortal kombat logo and yin/yangs seem really out of place on an Eldar model. I understand that it's meant to be fun, but...personal taste. It's just too jarring and detracts from the excellence of your execution on the rest of the model.

well, we got yin/yangs on eldar transfer sheet, so... maybe it`s old-school a little, but this mini quite old by itself =)

Thank you, everyone.
