Skaven Poision Wind Mortar crew

My first mini ever. Trying to learn how to paint while I'm sitting up late at night with my autistic son. Just doing what ever mini's I get cheap from ebay and using mostly Citadel colors. Any comments or suggestion on how to make the mini better is welcome.

Thank you for constructive comments. I tried to highlight the copper with thinned gold color but I should ofcourse have tried to shade metal that isn't hit directly by any lightsource. I also agree on the comments about the shading of the skin. I will need to look at a lot of pictures before I understand how it's supposed to look.

Masks are great. Especially the gem like eye pieces. Weathering is decent. Since you're using real metallics, they can always benefit with some washes. Need some dark brown in the shadows while highlighting at least the edges with a different metallic. I like the effect you did on the cannon balls. Skin is a good start, a bit chalky and flat with the shades and no highlights it appears. Shades need to get darker the deeper they go to build dimensionality. I made that last word up. And highlight with a lighter skin. But for your first this is beyond exceptional.

For a first mini ever this is really good. I like what you did with the weathering and corrosion to the metals. The Warpstone orb is looking sharp. I personally dont have much to add, others with more skill than I might. But all I can say is you are on the right track!
