Completed Critique Wood elf rider

[Fedath]

Hi everyone!
Here's my latest work, a wood elf rider, inspired from a Jason Chan concept (here).

As I'm still a beginner, it hasn't always been a pleasure to sculpt this piece, I had to face many difficulties, but in the end I'm happy that this is eventually done, even if the finishes, details, and the face of the elf are really bad.

Many more views are available here.

I hope you like it, and I'm looking forward to your comments

If you're still a beginner, I can't wait to see your work when you get better.
Superb sense of movement,
Carl.

Great movement in this whole piece.
When you are a beginner I think we see your work within a couple of years produced by a great manufacturer.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
It motivates me to find some time to work on other projects, as I'm a little busy because of my studies..

RKapuaala, don't say this, this miniature is in the end pretty "simple", not much details, just some kind of dynamic silhouette.
(Huh, maybe I should take a picture of it in front of a light background, so as to get only the silhouette in black. I'm not sure about the word used in english to describe this, french zould be "chinese shadow", is it appropriate?.)

Anyway, I really appreciate your comments, and I'll try to do a better job on the next one.

Thanks for the additional back lit images. I am not sure what you mean by dynamic silhouette or chinese shadow. I've heard of chinese shadow pupets, but they are 2 dimensional your sculpt looks 3D even with back lighting.

Ok, so it's just called back lit. It's just that in french, we call it "chinese shadow".
So here are 4 pictures I just made.

Enjoy ^^.
