Fantastic paint job!

[Grand Slam]

I love the extreme darks and the extremely light highlights on this one...it really gives this model some depth (particularly the package...that thing looks beautiful).

 

Nice overall color pallette, too.

I’ve heard: “Always push the contrast while painting, until you’ve pushed it too much.”

 

I was trying to push the contrast as high as possible while painting this mini as an experiment.  I was worried I was pushing too far, but it looked good.  Then the satin sealer coat cut the matte and pushed the contrast more, and the phone camera pushed the contrast in the picture up a just a little more still!

 

I don’t think I have to worry about having too much contrast.

I agree. The contrast especially on the present and bow are excellent.
