I've seen two agreements on this figure: One, it's decent to pretty good(I fall into the latter category), and two, the face is disappointing. I thought it was due to the black paint on the mouth, combined with the black on the neck to give the "Stormbringer Bludgeon" approach. So, I decided to fix that, along with giving her some more detailing. It's not done yet, as I want to work with the legs and feet a little more, but here's where she stands right now.

I think the silver and gold on the face bring out the details of her face, and there's a lot of neat detail you can work out using different colors of paint.

Here she is in the instructions/concept art pose. It's a neat look, but kills the mobility of the arms.

Unfortunately, the flash obliterates a lot of the details... I just didn't really want to bust out the lighting set-up for a WIP.

I'm thinking I might fill in the sides of the piping on her arms with black paint. I want to work out a few more details on her feet, as well. Any other ideas on potential paint touch-ups that could be done with her?
