This is an old I-kore Celtos figure.  Not completely satisfied with what I've done. But I think she's finished.  And yet, these look so horrible when I post them. 

This is my boomstick!

I dunno - quite like the eyes, nice fleshtones and the metallics look good - perhaps the highlights on the head dress could be more graduated but I'm sure she looks great on the tabletop!

Good work!  :D

i really like it.

The only remark i can do is about the photo: you have a really nice painting style, but with very definite highlights: you should make quite smaller photos, with more light! :)

because i'm shure that in real life the mini looks wonderful, but seeing it on a so big photo i have just to imagine it! :)

She looks fine to me. The face is particularly well done. And usually that's the most important thing.
I do agree that with rather drastic highlights a smaller picture would work a little better, but nevertheless this is a high quality painting.

 I think she look's great.When miniatures are photographed like this they tend to look bad.Every thing is blown up.I bet she looks amazing in person.

You did a nice job on her.

The picture has her magnified far larger than she really is, which can make figures look less effective than they are - in particular it tends to make highlighting that works perfectly on the actual figure seem overdone in the extreme closeup photo.
