Subject: First Night Goblin(first mini painted in 5 years)
Hi guys , here are a few pics of my First Night Goblin the picture quality realy dosent do the model any justice I used red gore for the hood and dry brushed it with a mix of skull white and red gore, also dry brushed the lower tunic with a mix of chaos black and skull white, primered the whole model skull white layed down the brown bits with a darker brown (dark flesh) i think , then drybrushed them with a lighter brown (not sure what it was as it was the brown in a starter box) then I inked the brown bits and some of the flesh with a (dark flesh? wash) I think it was.(also needs the base completing but i'll be doing all of them together when the unit is finished)
any way here are some pics (please bare in mind this is my FIRST mini in about 5 years) all crits and comments welcome
Thanks.

It's a clean model for sure and a great start for picking up the brushes after 5 years. I would look at a light brown wash (devlan mud) on the face and yellow shield. It'll make the green pop out and give the face some depth. On the yellow it'll give it a dirty look and not spoil the yellow.
a tip for your photography: get more lights on it and turn off your flash. Also use the macro function(mine is a symbol of a flower) to zoom in closer to the model.
If you did that, then put a piece of paper behind the model so that the camera doesn't focus on something in the background like your chainmail paint.
As for the paint job, give the shield and hood a wash of devlan mud and it'll be cherry.
