I have to take issue with U4welcome's comment. Just because someone is proficient with advanced painting techniques doesn't mean they have to be applied to every mini. A clean, minimalist style is often the best for a particular sculpt, and this is a perfect example.
Hm, I don't get it. The painting is undeniably clean and well done, but I feel the model doesn't offer anything special. Furthermore, I can easily find other minis with stunning models that give the opportunity to use many more painting effects. I'm sure you could tackle a more challenging model, that'd offer the opportunity for wide surfaces (blending and freehand), gems, NMM, SENMM, lightsourcing, and all the other tricks. But "just" clean painting isn't a 9 in my book.
