i very much like this painting style. the mini is shaded, it's high-lighted also, but not with so much machine-like precision and perfectionist intent, as we see it on some miniatures with high ratings posted here. it's a nice miniature, that can easily be identified as a flesh-golem (or frankies monster...), and a solid gaming piece. i find minis that exhibit the general idea of the sculpt, that is, the creature they're supposed to be, much more realistic, interesting, and exciting, than any 1000-fold layered rainbow-colored, perfectly-blended & stainless miniature could ever be. very good work! ;)
