Exceptionally skilled brushwork there sir.  No doubt about that, and the NNM is very good.

However, for me, the figures overall look a bit too 'washed out' and pastel.  I think they need a bit of a stronger tone to the colours.  Especially given the brightly coloured bases which sort of overwhelm the minis.

Personally, I love the delicate colours you use on your models—it makes your work very distinctive and dreamlike, and really matches the High Elf aesthetic, I think.

Some 20 years ago I wanted to build a high elf army. I've never managed to do so because I've never considered my painting skills good enough. I still believe a high elf army should look imaculate and cleaner than any other army. And you, Sir, have managed to do that. This is truely amazing and just the way they should be. I especially love that you managed to use a few colors I don't usually associate with high elves and still make it look great.

These are lovely all around.  I really like the purple and turquoise color scheme.  Congratulations.

She's already a BEAUTY. I look forward to her final form...especially what you do with the base. Keep up the GREAT WORK!
