Little work done waiting for my CAV to show up.

Nice work - good,clean separation of colours, earthy tones without being muddy - all round good stuff  :clap2:

[Keeper]

She's really nice :)  I like the eyes, and the understated NMM.  I like your style of NMM much more than the overworked stuff that you quite often see :)

[Agentmolar]

very nice. Very clean and crisp  :clap2:

[Perv]

great job, I like all of it  :icon_w00t:

[gi6ers]

Nice one, the only thing I'd change is to add more highlights to her face and the metals.

Ah, Princess SLeia. I've been meaning to paint those three for a while now but never got round to it :).

[dargrin]

Thanks for the kind words guys. 

I hope to post the 2 of 3 to night and maybe get the 3 of 3 next week.

Nice clean work as always dargin :bludrgn2:

[Dr.Evil]

Sorry but have to agree with the above.  :icon_wink:

Great work there.  :occasion14:

Again, this one is nice and cleanly painted (like your second one) but the metals don't look metal to me.  I think more highlights are in order or...metalic paint?

NMM is a difficult thing to get right and there needs to be plenty of area to get the effect to work...maybe these are too small for it to work?  (I wouldn't even attempt NMM so cudos to you for giving it a go  :icon_cool:).

[dargrin]

As I mentioned in the other post this something I would like to get at somewhat good at.   I know it has been very well done at this size so I need either a different recipe or more practice.  But at this point it looks like both.

[Inso]

The only thing I can suggest is more contrast.  When I've seen NMM in the past there has always been sharp contrast between the 'shades'.

Again, cudos for giving it a go...you have the most important skill and that is an exceptionally clean painting style.  If you practice I'm sure that you will be painting NMM to a high standard very soon  :icon_twisted:.
