Wow.  Really nice warm tones, great freehand, and it doesn't hurt that the mini is oozing with personality.

Thanks all for the comments, really appreciated

Thats a 10/10.

Care to share how you do your photos?

As far as the photography is concerned I like to keep it simple and shoot all my stuff with one light. It is the quality of the light source that is important and I use a studio flash head with a very diffused soft box attached, although I am not using the flash for the exposures but the tungsten-modelling lamp incorporated into the head. Suffice to say that this could be any lamp as it is the soft box and diffusion that are important. This will provide a large pool of light which is relatively shadow free but retains some modelling on the subject to emphasise the 3d nature of the subject. Any small-localised shadows can then be controlled with a small reflector of white card….simples!

I just add my "Great, fantastic etc" to the general chorus. This miniature has character and your painting has improved/drawn out exactly that.
