Wow you are such a fast painter. Those high elves look fantastic, good work indeed. Waiting to see more wood elves.

How are you painting the gold on your High Elves? Also, any chance of a close-up?

I think you need to do some proper close ups of your figures. The painting looks good but I can't really see how good. Galadriel looks one for a closer viewing, the blue tones are interesting.

Nice work.
For an Elven face, particularly Galadriel you need to have a fairer complexion, not such extreme shading. This link will give you an idea of how to paint a females face.

I think you can push the highlights on Galadriels cloak to almost pure white on the highests spots. VMC Ivory is a good choice as it doesn't go grainy when thinned as a glaze.

I really like your paint style. Not very light and still very nice detail!

Any chance of a better look of Gandalf ? He looks great.

Very nicely done on both counts, the work on the face and cloth of Boromir is excellent (the work on Gandalf also looks to be of the same high standard).

Lovely blending on the cloak. Is the shine caused by using a flash for the photograph ?
Do you use a Matt varnish ?

He is indeed just as nice as Boromir, love the work on the face and the beard.
