Logan, It is good at showing a variety of armor. For art's sake the background needs to have more depth (shadow under the arch?) the stones just look flat... painted rather than mortared. Your figures should throw a stronger shadow so that they will look more integrated with the scene. The armor with most contrast (Mordikar's) ought to go in the center OR you need something equally eye-arresting on the left edge to blance the picture. The lipstick red and white is crisp and nice! Iso's armor is what I'd want in a real down & dirty battle, though. A leader must be obvious to raise morale; a fighter just needs to keep alive to be effective. The armor on the left is oddly colored, so the material isn't obvious. For a science fiction setting, perhaps purple or blue plastics, for a neo-elf maybe green/gold/brown leathers. (I'd probably go electric blue with white strapping and a light-colored rapier blade pointing back into the scene. This would give the figure enough contrast to balance Mordikar's armor.) And no need to run for cover... none of your ladies are poking each other or leaning into the building or otherwise looking fake. Carolly
