So here is a Confrontation Dwarf, and some Infinity Mini's I have recently finished as well.
I definitely have some room for improvement. Look forward to getting some C & C from you all.
Thanks a bunch,

Grim's Mini's
Hello everyone, forum noob here. Was invited by Maru on the Infinity forums. Just though I would post up a few of my mini's I've completed over the last year. I hope to be able to improve my painting try to take it to the competition level. Maru suggested you could all help me with that.

Re: Grim's Mini's
Really like the visual effects of the snow guys/gals, nico work on the lence of the lasgun guy aswell
Re: Grim's Mini's
well you actualy know my opinion alrdy 
but :
thats not a Lasgun - thats Auto canon - portable AA canon actualy
about dwarf - you almoust knew what should be where - almoust - but thing thats lacks is is over all global contrast - it is but not enught end not as "defined" as it should be
check out - i just incresed contrast on your minis streching it from your "greys" to mine full spectrum
- yes we check minis in B/W to check if contrast is good

Re: Grim's Mini's
You've got a distinct style, and your colour choices work well with the models. I think some more practice in getting the blends smoother with some simple glazes would benefit you greatly and with little effort. You're a neat painter which is in your favour anyway.
With your NMM on your rackham model it needs a bit more contrast on the metals to really make them seem more metal-like as Maru suggested. You have too much base colour on those items and so you need to increase the shading and smoother highlights will give a better end effect.
You're off to a great start anyway, try glazing a bit more, water down the paints and you'll be set on your way !

Re: Grim's Mini's
Thanks Hellspawn I appreciate it.
@ Maru - That picture is great! I need to learn how to do that. What a great reference. The Black and White helps a lot with knowing where the highlights need to be brought up even more. Cool Cool. Thanks!!
@ Arctica- Thanks for taking the time to write a few words about my work. Thanks for the encouragement and the advice. Ill try to use more glazes in my painting to smooth up the blending.
Thanks a million. I hope to get a WIP of another Soldier of the Plains (Rackham Dwarf) here in the next few days. Maybe you all can help coach me to an 8 on Cmon?
