It seems that your posts went unnoticed somehow... In my case it was just because after the weekend all the posts were marked as ' Read'..

But talking about the mini: I DON'T LIKE THEW SWORD AT ALL. The pattern on it is ugly. Not your fault though. I'd highlight the sword pretty much with Green, Light Green (scorpion?), Yellow and White po make almost glowing effect.. The patterns - either the same way or some contrasting color - maybe orange? als strongly highlighted...

PS - You need to shade the armour more, especially define the lines, and pick the edges with hihlights - otherwise the armour will look too flat and boring. The greasy/smoky jetpack looks too shiny for me and needs to be flat-varnished...

Good work so far but you can do better with some creative help. It looks like you have a great mid-tone base (Grey) now you need a shadow (Dark Grey or black) and a highlight (light Grey to Ivory). The thought process behind this is always have at least 3 colors in each area. Example on skin the easy combo is Dwarf Fleah as a base Tan Flesh as a Shadow and Elf Flesh as a highlight. I hope this helps. Press on......
