Re: Done and dusted!

 I'm not a fan of anthropomorphic stuff, but you've made this look great!

the light sourcing on this piece is just about the best I've seen: the yellow light from the torch,  the silver light coming down the stairs from outside the crypt, the shadows - all very realistic
love the crossbow bolt sticking out of the dust in the coffin, great little detail

Really great work, have to echo mortis' comments really in that the lighting is really well done.

 I think some people over exaggerate the OSL technique and you can't really tell what colour things were supposed to be but you've got the balance on this one so its still obviously lit by the torch but not just orange and yellow.

The shadow looks AMAZING too, did you use a torch or something to actually cast the shadow by any chance?

The use of colours is practically perfect.
Very Very Impressed.... great paint job as usual.

Absolutely superb!I love the atmosphere the scenery creates;suggesting more by the arch & steps leading away..................the torch flames are excellent.Not forgetting the realistic wood grain on the coffin.I think the reddish colour was a good idea,more atmospheric than the usual stone.The cat is understated in its colours,which adds more to the piece.........I am voting for you & thanks I have bookmarked the coolmini website.
