So here's the results of my first lesson in NMM. Thanks, Anne! Overall I have to say I'm pretty happy with how he came out (I hope you're sitting down!). I also went a bit further with the hair thanks to ttuckerman mentioning Oiled Leather as a shade for blond hair, and I decided to punch up a couple highlights in my quest to work on my contrast. Now I need to go back and revamp my cloth and leather techniques! I like the effect I got glazing a dark red over the little scroll case or whatever it is, tucked between the sheaths and bedroll. Tried for some blue/green eyes but it didn't photograph well. I'll probably get an eyeroll (hah) from my fiancee, she likes to make fun of the freaky eyes I give characters in video games. And for fun, here's an elf I did back in the 90s for comparison. Finally, you can see the WIP in http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/47264-groupopenwip-l2pk3/'>this thread.
