I like the concept and the blade (very much the blade), and the face is well done, but I have to say that the (his) right shoulder join around the sleeve lets it down a little, and there's no obvious way the robe stays closed.

A little highlighting or drybrushing across the  folds of the cloth would definitely help make it look far more real, and maybe a bit of careful shading with a dark wash in the recesses of the shoulder and the overlap on the front would be good too.

Thanks for the commentary.

He is darker than he looks - the flash hasn't done him many favours.  The back is considerably tidier than the front - I'm not certain any attempts to tidy it would improve the situation though.  I might add a bit more shading at some point.  I'm afraid I copped out of handling the problem of how the robes are fastened - if you think that's a logical problem, ask yourself how that rifle got up his sleeve! (magic?).
I had better point out, that some of the clubs I represent are of a military bent.

Wicked looking blade and a good face there too. Some highlighting on the cloak would really help bring the model to life - but it's a good concept, and you are much braver than I - I'm not sure I would dare try sculpting so much of a model! Although then again that's just me; I've never been much of a GS wizard!

It's coverth...  :P

He looks rather... shocked. Like someone just gave him a wedgie shocked, rather than horror at a daemon shock. I like him though.

See, i think the face looks like a horrible lizard, or maybe some kind of gecko or salamander. It makes it quite reptilian, and thus to me, makes me think of the character as draconian. Then again, at no point have I ever claimed to have a normally functioning train of thought....

Oh, I agree. Just his eyes are a bit round. I like him a lot - the weapon is great, and the back is excellent, but the eyes distract me.
