Hi Axia!

You obviously do great work, but please stop with the dark brown lining of skin. It doesn't look natural.
On your 10 hour team, it was much more toned down and their skin looked great.


You're a great painter, so I know you can handle it :)

Please be perfect, I know you can! 8)

I do not know much about painting, but I was considering Brage comment. I was wondering, if the style of painting depends on the intention.

Usually I will look at my BB minis from everything up to a good meter distance. So a high contrast gives the mini a good look. Right?
If I look at it up close (as we do in the photographs here) you of course see the lining very strongly, which is something you'd probably want to avoid for showcase painting.

So, since I put my men on the field of glory, I want them to look good there. Hence a high contrast through strong lining. Right?

Thank you all! About the point made by brage, yes it's true but it's mainly due to the sculpt of the minis, the newest and better mk1881 ones allowed me to be more "soft" on the skin and you can see the difference in sculpt and painting even within this team too, the number 15 even if has an higher level of painting has the muscles better sculpted and the painting softer on them! Thank you for the question! :D
