The freehand was so much fun I almost forgot to finish the miniature :)
And of course the bigger the projects the more you learn. Luckily I had some awesome friends over the weekend at my place to give me feedback. Also it was a great experience to enter a miniature at a GoldenDemon contest. It makes you look at your miniatures from totally different point of view.
Here is the reference I used for the freehand http://0bo.deviantart.com/art/king-345650053
Critics and feedback on this one is very welcome.
