Welcome to LAF Sentient Bean.

It seems your paint abilities will be a great contribution to our forum.

The gem on the belt is really good, and the skin shadows subtle but effective.

May you have a long and merry stay with us.

Lovely brush work.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you for the warm welcome!

I must admit that the "dip" did most of the work on this one.  

I thin it on the model (like a highlight) after I apply it with a number 1 or 2 brush.  I then dullcote and in this case, paint, highlight and gloss the gem.  The technique works well enough for barbarians.
