Wraithlord WIP

A Wraithlord that I have been trying to get up to scratch to match my army style. I tried to keep the armour as ghostly as I could, without pushing for overly hard highlights, but am worried about a lack of definition. Thinking of progressively adding more scrollwork to the figure, about the ankles and possibly wrists, in order to add some focal elements, as well as picking out parts of the flamers in bone tones to break up the armour some more. Looking forwards to any sort of feedback I can get towards improving on the figure, or areas that I need to focus on more in my painting.

I was aiming for a barren ruins feel, it may be too clean still however

Picking out gemstones etc to add some contrast

And the Wraithlord as it stands now, first piece of scrollwork added to the "face" in an attempt to add some sort of focus to the figure.

So please let me know if you have any suggestions, or tips and tricks towards improving my style, I'm always on the looking for constructive criticism!

Stunning work there. I love the colours :) When I read the top few lines I was expecting a standard level of painting, then I saw the base and thought.....hey, this base is nicely painted so how's he struggling on the mini? Then I scrolled down and saw your Wraithlord. Awesome! with beautiful blending and really neat and tidy.

Can't wait to see how it finishes up. The scrollwork is perfect. Follow your intuition. Its served you well to this point!

Cheers
Will

Wow...just speechless. Blending is beautifully done. Scroll work is fantastic. Keep it up. I'll be eyeing this thread to see the outcome.

Well I was not expecting such glowing compliments when I posted this up originally, thank you all very much for the encouragement. It has taken me a little while to get back to work on him, but I have added a little more patternwork, and picked out the flamer cartridges and nozzles, as well as sword hilts in bone to add back some definition to the figure that I thought it lacked.

I still don't feel like the figure is finished, but I am wary of overcluttering. If anyone has any suggestions or criticisms I am all ears!
