How to convert or sculpt a miniature? How to make a decent base or even a full diorama?!

Agreed. I like the details like the face of the rhinox - vicious, full of expression, and really bestial!
But the fur isn't up to the standard. You should have taken care to give it some direction, some flow. To make it look heavy by hanging down as the rhinox is rearing, or make it light by following its own flow. The minis weren't cleaned - I saw moldlines on both: the ogre and the gnobblar.

The blanket on the rhinox's back is the weakest part of the mini. If you can sculpt such a face like the rhinox's (respect for this!) you should put more work and effort into the blanket the rider is sitting on....

And you know why I am telling you this all? Because the mini is really uneven - on some parts you showed you really can sculpt, and some are really sub-standard! Shame shasme shame! :P

I agree with Demi (rear legs) and Mahon (fur, uneven quality).
Now I'll point out what I really like - pose of a rhinox. It's dynamic, yet it shows somehow, that this is best what that beast can do. Standing on rear legs and roaring - yes. Charging and galloping like a wild mustang - not really.
Good job with that, Samuel. However, if the rhinox assumed that position, I suppose that rider would tilt to the back more.

@Samuel - yeah, that's my fault (at least partially). it was me who made him stand at such an angle, but it was also because that is the position which is achieved by aligning the soles of his feet horizontally... if they were at different angle, standing the rhinox on them might set it at different angle. so don't worry, no one's gonna kick you ;)

Actually, if you look at riders on horses as an indication, riders tend to tilt forward in an extreme angle. It has to do with balance and gravity. You tilt back when a horse/camel is going down hill. You tilt forward when they are going up a hill. Same for when a horse rears, you tilt forward as far as you can so you stay in the saddle.

he tilts back more, but tbh. i think the position of the rhinox rider is not necessarily wrong or odd looking, quite the oposite if you ask me. it looks good, don't worry :)
