Thanks! the sword was the main focus of this model but i tried some bone layering as well as the cloth shadowing, plus its hard to tell but his hair goes from a black, very quickly to a red in the front thats where it stands out most, but if you look at where the hair starts you can see the change /hopefully/ this was a bigtime experiment for me and im glad you guys like it, and gonna do some touch ups on the face, not so sure about the gold, might to a brownish or black inkwash for the gold, i think i would like the looks of that best, but we'll see, ill get more pics up when ive made more progress, and thanks a helluva lot tor!
