I painted this guy a few weeks ago. I spent maybe 4 days off and on on him. I'm much happier with the front than the back.

 

C&C welcome and appreciated!

 

 

Also, I'm not sure if I like the grey background, I have a white and a black as well but I'm not sure if one of the others would work better.

Very good looking model!

Dark blue background to compliment the yellow?

I'm working through this guy right now, and it's a pain hahaha you are doing a good job, specially on the headress and chest/shoulder thing, your lines are mostly straight and contained. I get the feeling that toward the weapon/gauntlets you might have lost your patience and became slightly more careless. 

 

We have all been through there, specially on minis that have a lot of small details (as this guy does), when taht happens its better to g odo something else (maybe prime or base coat the next one) to clear your head and come back renewed

 

Keep up the godo work!

I definitely got frustrated doing the gauntlets. I had put one of the arms down and accidentally set it in wet paint and didn't realize until it was dried so had to do it over. The weapon can just be chalked up to I don't have a terribly steady hand but I'm working on that.

Good job.

 

Why don't you feel satisfied with the back?

 

I think he looks good, maybe it's the pics, but it feels like he might benefit from a little wash or shadow,

I'm okay with the back, I can just pick out little things in the picture that I didn't see before that could be greatly improved upon. I think it's the pics, I did a wash in selective places but you can't really tell. I'm still trying to work out just how much light I need to use in my light box to get the full effect without washing out the final results some.

Pictures are not always showing off the mini like they should.

We all struggle with that,

 

in SHUTTERBUG thread, you may find some tips and trics.

 not sure what you're seeing that makes you unhappy; I think you did a pretty good job on him.

His mask looks great. Maybe try more layers on his skin next time so it's a more gradual difference between the shadows and the lighter parts, possibly with brighter highlights here and there too? I like the color selection.

[Jaws]

Your brush control is great. Really nice lines. Some shading, like dark wash, on the gold parts, and some highlights on the skin tones would give him a very professional look, I think. :)

Nicely done!
