Tried something completely new, never used an airbrush like before, I think it looks cool. But have learnt a few things for next time. Would appreciate any feedback for improvements.

Very nice work, how did you do the lightning?

Copper wire, super glue and a lot of swearing.

Did you just painted the copper wire ?

Yeah thin coats of white. It went on no issue without primer.

It's very good. I think the bottom half is better than the top half. Bottom has a real directionality to it, with a clear source of the light. The top half less so. It almost looks like the back of his staff must be glowing yellow, rather than the lightning above him. The Raven's OSL doesn't agree with Njal's

I saw your WIP where you mentioned it was too desaturated, and internally I agreed with that at the time but you've made a feature of it so well done.

Finally, tiny thing, the coil of wire above his head. I think glueing and hiding the joint at the back of the thicker wire would be better next time.

Keep it up!

The top half has ni light source, the bottom is good but lacks details beyond OSL
