If this is the third mini you ever paint, you'r doing great. Good job!
Keep on painting and you'll see great improvement on your next miniatures. The secret is to keep practicing and never be afraid of experimenting new tehniques.

actually, it's a cat as van helsing

pretty good paintjob. some parts need more contrast, some look a bit flat, transitions could be smoother here and there. just few things you could work on with your next mini.

also, base could be something more than just plain rock. more colours to it to make it look more interesting, some ground or greenery to add different textures. and it perhaps could be placed on some plinth or a base, even a standard plastic gaming base. I think that pure scenery without something to put in on looks a bit odd, but maybe that's just me.

well done!

cool cat
