This is amazing! I was wondering (if you don't mind me asking ) if you had any tips on shading/painting skin? I can never get mine to look realistic/textured is that makes sense haha?Mine always looks flat/doll-like..
But this is a really awesome painting, I can understand how painful the chainmail was to paint haha good job though!

First off, thank you oh-so-much. Really.
As for the skin, I first start off with a base color. Then, at a low opacity, I paint in large sections of similar color, including highlights and shadows. I continue to do this, each time paying more attention to detail.
Light sources are also really important.
And... the colors. I put a few to the side that flow from one to the other, and use gradients of them as I paint.
Hope this was helpful
