Nice skin tones, it's a nice change. I prefer the more "pinky" looking tentacles, but I'm old school and that's just a matter of taste. The trim on the cloak is phenomenol, and the highlights on the robe are very well done. Criticism (sorry, theres gotta be one): stronger highlights on the cape, and the base needs something (anything, actually).
I like the highlights a lot. They are not overly loud so the figure doesn't look like a japanimation comic book character. I also like the color you chose for the skin.
Yup. I'm trying to learn to make bolder highlights on everything. I tried not to cover up those cracks in his skin. But again, I still have to work on more highlights.
