I've got some places I definitely want to touch up. Places where my brush control was lacking for sure and I'm not happy with the tone on the belt. I find it mixes too much with the gold. I'll be adding some more layers to that as well as touching up any spots I missed with paint.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I'll be continuing to edge highlight with the cobalt Metal on any exposed armour and will attempt my first OSL from the eyes.
Funny thing is, this isn't even from my main army. I have 2500 points of Nids I need to prime and paint. I've just been having a bit of the winter blues so I forced myself to paint something to try and kickstart my engines. Building has been really therapeutic though and painting was even moreso.
It's very annoying. I've looked through every setting I possibly could and I just don't have the option to turn it off.
That face looks really great btw. I haven't dove into painting faces yet. I hope I can do it half as well as you.
