Very nicely done!
The high contrast shading makes for a cartoony look, which really fits the Games Workshop models in my opinion.
Great to see something else than a rock or chunk of Warpstone to have that model standing on too.
Good photography as well I'd say.
One remark maybe is that your metallics look rather flat to me. It's not as bad on the statue, but the silver ones really could use a highlight in my opinion.
Apart from that last thing, I really like it!

Great pictures of a really good paint job. I suspect that the colors won't look cartoony at all when seen at tabletop distance: my guess is that they'll just really pop. I want to make a special mention, though, of the conversion: this is one of the best posed conversions of the Screaming Bell Grey Seer that I've ever seen.

Part of the difficulty with using that model, for me, is that the Seer was intended to be balancing himself on the Bell, so his pose seems odd when he's mounted on a flat base. Your solution of putting the Grey Seer on a Dwarf statue, so that he's once again balancing himself, is brilliant! You've taken the leftover bitz and actually used them so that your model looks right even though he's not on a Screaming Bell. Well done!

I keep wondering if that's a statue model, or just a Dwarf model that he painted all bronze.

I don't think it looks cartoony at all. I prefer my rats to be ragged and dirty (lots and lots of devlan mud) but I am extremely impressed with this grey seer. It honestly looks like a masterpiece. Like I said before, it is absolutely amazing!

I saved the 2nd image to my phone so I can show it off to people who don't play warhammer (i do that a lot, trying to recruit players). Hope u don't mind, Pear!
