asking for it, are ya? ok, here goes. The hair is too yellow for blond hair, unless he's a punker. To create passable blonde hair, you actually use just a hint of yellow. My recipe for blonde hair is , base coat white.(GW colors) flesh wash, making sure it goes into the crevices, drybrush elf flesh, add just a hint of yellow to the elf flesh, lightly drybrush that on, and thats basiclly it. you might want to highlight some more, but then you might want to add a bit of white to your mix. I either use a flat brush, or the length of one of my regular brushs to 'drybrush'. Its technically not drybrushing, but the brush work is similar. The big picture is overexposed, but the side pics look really nice. I really like your browns. Your NMM steel looks flat. you need to add some shading into the blades. the gold scale mail looks nice, but the knee bits look flat. His right eye, it looks like the pupil extends past the eye lid. Ever think of using a dark brown to dark/black line with, instead of black? sure black really adds contrast, but brown isn't harsh and things look a bit more natural (try reaper walnut brown, vallejo black brown, or gw scorched earth.) Other than that, the mini looks super. but the yellow hair is a major distraction to an otherwise super looking piece. Cheers!

I like everything but the hair -- it could use some more shading.
