Geez you really did that miniature justice! The flesh is great but I really like the subtle work on the staff's gemstone, and the overall gritty look.

Nicely done, always liked that miniature and that's a good paint job.

allthoug the highlites on the hair look great, something doesn't feel right. I guess it's because I got used to a lot of people putting very sharp highlites in there (as hair apperently shows in RL)
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

Looks really damn good, especially the black/grey tones on the fabric, the skin is great and the hair has a good look to it as the colors shift softly from dark to light as the wave goes  :)

What is the name of that Reaper fig, so I can find it for myself?  Thanks!

A very special miniature and you have done it justice.  I really like your painting technique which is very atmospheric.

Nice job! 

My version of this figure was an evil sorceress in our D&D campaign about a year ago.  She came to a bad end...

I know what you mean but actually I think it looks a lot more natural than with extreme sharp highlights. I like it a lot.
