Still getting to grips with photoshop

looks great! ... what colour scheme are you going with?

Great !

But IMO you should turn its left hand on the ground in a more "american football" pose.

I love it, with one small thing...the feet being flat on the ground...that mino has achilles' tendons of steel stood like that. Dunno if its possible for you to bend them up a little, so he's on his toes more.

Thads, the right heel is off the ground.. just hard to see with the grey undercoat...

Oh and I forgot to say that a round base would look better on a BB pitch...

That is awesome!!! What figure is that?

Wonderful fig!
And I agree with kadu-c concerning his left fist but I´m not sure if it would be that easy to turn it fully on the ground. You should try to bend his left arm backwards a bit for that. I really like his pose. I´m working on some similar ogres at the moment.
Oh, and yes, try to put him on a round base

Her you can see what I mean (I was playing with photoshop

)

The knuckles should be facing outward if you want the proper 3-point stance. I agree that changing it to that would add a lot to the figure and so would a circular base. That is going to be a great looking figure when you're done!

Sorry I couldn't resist. Good job.

Oh yeah! Turning the fist so the knuckles were facing forward would totally make this the best

The football coach in me is trembling at teh thought of sending my guys out to line up against that monster

Thanks for the feedback guys!

The left hand for the three point stance?

Is it like Bonehead expertly showed in his post but with the thumb facing inwards? He is too big to put on a round base but maybe with the arm repositioning suggested he might fit! Do I have this correct?

The mini is called a "chaos lord minotaur" or something like that.

Thanks again

Yeah, knuckles out and thumb in. Like the lineman in American football.
