cool little fella...
I like the mini quite a bit.
I am not sure why you have an inset of an even smaller picture (unless it is to show actual size...). If that were the case, I would suggest maybe another angle.
You have done good work on his face and skin. The banner pole could use a little more definition or another highlight (that may just be the photo).
Good job.
Oh, I couldn\'t get your link to work properly.

Well done..
That is a nice little figure.
The background is a bit distracting though. See if you can get hold of a piece of coloured card from an art shop or something and put it behind your mini so that it stands out better. Light blue is a good colour and if you check the images on this site, you will see that a lot of people use it.
I agree with super that the banner pole looka a bit plain and I think that the base might benefit from a bit of drybrushing and maybe a clump or two of static grass.
All the important bits look really good however.

very nice
I think this is superb. You can faintly see the wood grain on the standard pole. I think it is probably lighting that prevents us from seeing it well. If not, I agree with Finn17 and Supervike. One more highlight would be nice. I also agree that the inserted pic is a bit odd, smaller, less detailed.???
The funniest part of this mini, in my opinion, is the skull. It almost looks as if it has eyebrows and that those eyebrows are making an expression that says, \"is someone stepping on me?\"

Whooaa!
I don\'t know what you mean by \'fix the skull\'. The Banner would benefit from a bit of extra work, but the little skull barkel was referring to is fine. Don\'t go messing with that too much.
As for the Youngbloods...\'Ya gotta be in..to win\'. Give it a whirl? What is the worst that can happen to you? (public humiliation aside).
If I could have painted half as good as you when I was your age I would be twice as good as I am now. (That\'s meant to be a compliment).:bouncy::flip::bouncy:

good chance
You have a decent chance of winning youngbloods. You never can tell what\'s gonna show. I\'d submit regardless.
I think your painting is very good. The highlighting is there. I also think the figure is somewhat dynamic. His big toothy smile and his march are eye catchers. But you might want to consider some additions/changes just to give the model a little bit more noticeability.
For example, goblin green is a fairly common base color. Perhaps a different color would be more eye catching. Or even go a step further with the base and shade it. Having darker green at the bottom and then successive highlight to the top. Or, since you have desert sand on the top of the base, perhaps a dark brown that blends into the tan sand. In the back of the GW Orc and Goblin book they have some pretty fancy examples of base work.
Another idea might be to put some pieces of green stuff on the standard pole to look like the remains of the flag that this little guy once carried. Naturally you\'d want to paint it. I stink at green stuff, so I can offer no advice on how to do this.
The mini is really good already. These are just some suggestions.

looks good, pic need some yellow correction and some light adjustment so it could get a higher rating and also be easier to judge. nice job on such a small grot though.
