Hi , Here's my Brother Castor. I've only recently started back at painting after a 10 year break.
All advice , tips and tricks is welcome!
Thanks for looking!

First tip is to never take a pic with the flash or with a white background. Try taking a pic with a black background and with ambient lights. Also, rotate your pics.
Do multiple tin coats. You can still see black under the blue and specially under the brown base.
It looks like you drybrushed, but it looks like you had too much paint still on the brush. Use less paint on your brush, you can test it out on your thumb nail. Other than that, it looks good. Welcome back.

Thanks for the advice ! I was going for a more battle worn and damaged look with the dry brushing to add scuffs and scrapes but ill see hownit looks with less paint

Thanks again,a

I think it would look lots nicer with neutral lightning in the pics.

He is not pretty up close, but I think you have a great gritty table top standars going. A few units in this style together will look ace.

You could be more careful with details like the shoulder pad trim, but all in all I think I prefer this to a super clean "studio" paintjob. It has lots of personality.

I like how his armor looks almost like it's made out of blue marble or something.
