Actually it`s my favorite miniature from that class! The mood of the scene is very impressive. Painting technique is okay: A lot of improvement happened there. I agree, a solid 7 for painting and a 8 to 9 for the overall miniature
A well done story - as told you I love how you have created it and the final piece is so cool as it is done in 3 days at a painting class :) - Keep on happy painting! Best Wishes Roman
