That's a picture of a glossy statue in the background. I'll relent on it though for the sake of civility, as well as the fact that the figure was incredibly well done.
Look at the 2nd pic in the gallery. The image (I assume) he was working from is in the background. It appears to me, in that pic, the costume has a shine to it. Very nice job.
Not to be too argumentative, because the fig indeed kicks much butt, but since when is Adam Warlock's torso shiny in the comics? All I could find were pictures like these. (Mind you, for all I know there's been something recent in the comics where an artist -has- been drawing him as being shiny, but I can't seem to find anything)
