I painted her for my RotRL campaign. Comments and criticism welcome!
wow, real nice! I love the smooth colors!
Very nice.
Very nice work on the paint job! The base could use a little something more to spruce it up completely if your looking for a little critique.
Yep. I totally agree; just thinking about what might be thematically appropriate. Any ideas?

That's ace painting, count me impressed.
For my Nualia, I went for a dungeon base as she is most likely encountered deep within Thistletop.
Very nice!
I'm jealous of her face. Lips and eyes are impressive in a "but how did he do it?!" kind of way.

Aw, shucks, I'm blushing.
So the first thing you need to do is, er, choose your mini wisely. Me, I love Derek Schubert's sculpts, because he always includes big, expressive eyes. You get a lot of canvas to work with.
The eyeshadow is done via thin glazes of purple (mix of Reaper Blood Red and Sapphire Blue).
Eyelining is done with Reaper Brown Liner. The sculpt makes this part easy.

Mini looks great, I like it.
Since other people mentioned adding something, I might suggest some sort of accent on the leggings. It doesn't have to be much but even some sort of wavy lines along the edges to spice things up a bit would help. It doesn't have to be super amazing and fancy like Derek Schubert will do when he paints em, but a little dab of something (like a red color to tie in the top to the bottom colors) would pull it together a little more :D
Dude, khudos on the eyes on that fig... and good job with the NMM's. My only critique is that there's so much of the same color on the figure (grey) that it takes a bit away from the model... you're obviously talented and have a steady hand, but color varience and lighting effects would make the model really come to life.
All in all, great job.
Thanks, all. I intended to add the red patterns on her upper leggings from the module art, but hadn't followed through. Now I will. I also am looking at changing the color on the base such that it doesn't all run together. Hopefully the change to the base, a little of Skullcrafts poison mix static grass (dark green and purple), and the red patterning on her thigh guards will do the trick.
Oh, and a quick color note: she's a muted olive drab, rather than a gray; also, that's actually semi-metallic metal. The silver is actually GW Boltgun + Mithril highlights, and I used black to create contrast.
Thanks again for the advice!
