    This is the first model I've painted, and hopefully will have more soon. I do have a little art background, just not in model painting. Please give me all the critique and advice you can so that I can improve.

    If that's your first attempt at painting I'm impressed.

    You can take the Horns and teeth a bit further as they look monotone atm.
    The spear head look at small details like the gem in the centre, painting details like these bring help the model pop.

    I did a tutorial on horns a bit back

    Thank you for the advice and I'll definatly check out that tutorial when I get home from work. I have some experience with paints and colors from art classes back in school, just never tried painting a model up until now lol.

    Looking good! Be sure to give it a good base!

    @Crowsfoot fantastic tips, thank you. I added the gems, I also added a lighter white to the teeth and nails but for the life of me I could not get a good picture. But here's the spear and gauntlet

    I think the deep recesses on the glove could use a sepia shade, but otherwise good job!

    Finished my saurus, basic scheme, just trying to practice until I feel confident enough to tackle some more advanced techniques. All critique is much appreciated. Sidenote: theres some bad flash, I didnt notice until after base coating (which is sad because I work in injection molding) and decided not to worry about ot since I know I'll be unsatisfied with these paint jobs in the future when I can do better.

    Looking fine despite the flash.
    Apart from the obvious thing (missing base! :D ) I think you are good to go.
