Turned out a beauty Dimitrios; congratulations on an excellent finish!!

Please allow me a question: could you explain how you did the metal on the shield boss and the decorations on his belt? They looks very bronze-like and I'd love to try your technique for this...

Cheers,
Adrian

Thank you all for the positive feedback guys.
Adrian my friend for the metals i started by making a mix of Stormtroopers gold ink with Vandyke Brown oils and a mix of Vandyke Brown with Pthalo green. Applied lights and shadows and blended. Then highlighted with pure Stormtroopers ink and for highest lights i used another gold ink i have much more intense with a bit of Pthalo green. For shadows i added ivory black to the first dark mix until pure black was used for outlining the designs. Hope that helps a bit.
