oh man, not only they made a terrible miniature but also created this paintjob...

and you say your friend asked to have his own painted this way? oh my....
although theirs is smoother and probably technically better, your version is bolder with contrasts and has details picked out with highlighting.
no, it won't be my favorite paintjob from you, but you worked within very limiting guidelines. blame your friend ;)

but I must say some parts still look unfinished. but the mini is finished, right? you're moving on?

Nice, I think his beer is a little too yellow but the axe is very nice and I really his beard :D
Getting back into the thick (or rather thin as in thinning my paints) of it, not picked up a brush in some time so this may hurt a bit until I get used to the feel of them again :doh:
