Thank You! A I am very glad about your feedback. I will use your advices in my next work. Is important to me to know how to improve, as I live in the midle of forest (really) and is a bit dificult share knowledgment here.
A hope that in this work you could see some evolution in my painting skills.

First let me say that I like you already for painting KD models ^^
Now about the paintjob, it is quite nice, largely table top I guess. I can see that you are rather skilled with a brush since it's very clean. That's why I think you could vastly improve on the look of the model by doing some stuff :
- about the metal parts : I'm not sure you used metallic colours here, seems more like grey drybrushing resembling a NMM style. I'm sure you could do it with layering though. If I'm mistaken about colours and techniques used here, disregard this comment.
- skin : I like the pale tone you used, maybe you could add some depth by glazing some darker colours in places like the clivage, the navel, the straight line above the navel going from the chest (for lack of better words ^^), along the straps and bandages, below the cheeks, bottom lip, underarms.
Use very thinned down skin colour + a touch of red, and apply sparsely and in several layer until satisfied.
- hair : used some thinned wash to get the strands to pop out. Re-highlight where necessary
- golden parts : use a sepia wash to enliven the gold, in recesses. You can use some purple wash too, in the deepest recesses or where you think shadows would fall.
- black and cape : well we don't see the back but judging from the front picture, I think you could add more depth to the cape. Use a dark blue or purple wash in the recesses (pure black doesn't exist), higihlight with black+blue (not too light), and finish with extreme highlight on the egdes (use a thin brush or course to paint straight thin lines on the edges)
For all this, use thinned down paints of course.
I hope I don't sound too harsh or condescendant, it is not my intention. I just see the potential of your clean job and I like those models so much.
Anyway keep it up !!
