Really impressive! The colours are awesome, and blending is seamless!
But... no eyes in the whole army?

I really like the colours, the purple and turquoise go really well together. But is it just me and the photographs, or do some areas look much flatter than others? I mean, your blending skills are obviously great, but it seems like you have skipped some places?

Really nice colour blending and pallette choice.

I guess I have to echo everything that's been said already; it's a great pallette, and a very cool-looking army.
But Rowena and Scythe sort of highlight the criticism I'd make; take the Sea Guard - the shields are blended really nicely, but it doesn't look like any of the siler/turquoise/purple has been highlighted or shaded. In addition some of the detail work (e.g. eyes) is missing, but where you're clearly capable of it?

Love your style.
(I'm guessing as a professional you have different standards of finish depending on time/budget, which are responsible for the details missed.)
Phoenix is especially spectacular.

The final comment here answered the questions. This is a large commission and follows the clients specifications. The eyes, however, are a real time sink and I increase my rates to take that sort of detail on. Most of the time eyes take several goes as I won't settle for a wandering eye or cat eyes that aren't quite round.
Thanks for the comments though. Enjoying the forum very much and hope to have more up soon.

Heh, wish I had enough time to paint my own army, let alone someone else's!

That explains it.
And I really admire your skills, the models are lovely.
