Okay a few thing on this mini. First, good things. Most striking is that you definitely did well on the skin. For females less is more and you didn't go overboard with too deep of shadows. The painting overall is relatively smooth. The NMM gold is very good actually. The back of the cape looks great. The NMM steel is above average. Improvements? The hair and whatever is in her hand need more contrast, both by themselves and against each other. They are both the same color exactly, and neither has much in te way of highlights and shadows on them, which makes them boring when they're supposed to be the focus. The blade needs more mid tone grays in it. The gold could use maybe a few highlights of pure white. The inside of the cape needs to look like tanned hide. Overall tho very good deserves praise! 8.5
