I pulled up the final pictures of Number 6 and was planning to ask, "Who is number 1?"
Then I saw your write-up of the sculpting process and discovered that was exactly the right question.
You certainly got the feel right for me to pick up on it immediately.
By the way... I love the base.
I do have a minor nit... Your mini's are sculpted pretty smoothly, but your paint makes otherwise smooth surfaces look somewhat rough. Is that on purpose?
Keep up the great work. For being new to sculpting mini's you do a fine job.
Game ON!
