welcome aboard first. Your mini looks nice for a first painting. I have some crits though: on the top part of the right axe, you forgot to put off a mould line; looks like you painted the axes by mixing some grey paint to metallic paint, you did, you have to know that when you mix "normal" paints to metallics, you musn't put too much of the non metallic paint in the mix if you want to keep the shine of your metal for it to look realistic. Some areas of the mini aren't shaded (gold, hair, apron), don't be afraid to shade, try to use washes, it'll help you shading more smoothly. The wood of the axes doesn't look very realistic, you could paint it a bit like the beard and then shade it a bit more and re-highlight using and bone colour in the mix. The last thing for me is the base, looks a bit simple and I think the sides of the base haven't been painted, it's correct for gaming but you can try new things like putting grass, trees, leaves, water...anything you want on your bases.
I hope all those crits will help you improving for the net mini, don't forget to check minis all over this site, you'll find lots of ideas for everything you want to do. You can also start a wip thread if you want, you'll show your process on the minis and you'll get feedbacks and advises from lots of people.
