But that laptop screen !!! :o

Great!

She's an absolute beauty, but yea, not so hot on the red. Perhaps, if you had broken it up some on the lighter side with orange or yellow.

But LOVELY painting. Amazing detail.

And yes, the base looks completely undone compared to the figure. lol

Probably because they are more "realistically" proportioned than the usual "waddling barrel on legs" GW-style dwarves. They are similar to the superb GW Lord of the Rings Dwarves, in this respect. If you saw them next to a standard human figure, you would probably appreciate them more :)

Red sand is now sold by Hasslefree, so thought I'd try it. Simple basework is a change for me, and I rather like it.

No microscope lol I have always painted wearing an Optivisor though. No point straining eyes. And the laptop screen did take three attempts. :)
