Wow, you've got a lovely distinct style of painting, especially like the colour choice too. One thing I willl say is try and increase the degree of shading on the black of the horse - maybe a black glaze would help tie the colours together?

What a great album! Awesome job on your "Ultwhe-Dark Eldar", I think the yellows and black works really well, original and crisp colour scheme. For me, the black comes off a little too crisp in some places, but that's personal preference. Top notch!

Everything but the black is great.

The black is highlighted in a too extreme way. Glaze it down a bit, then it'll be one hell of a paintjob.

the colour schema is really good..but as sarcon says maybe you should apply over the black some washes with:
1) black painting very dilluted
2) new black wash from GW

It should soften the transitions

Your painting style is really fun to look at and you did a very good job. My only critique is the wing membranes are too pale for my tastes. They stand out too much. I would like to offer an alternative colour but I have the same kind of issue with my own mini. I just don't know what colour really fits there. Over all a nice mini =)

Flying Pegasus huh? Original!! ...sorry..couldnt help it. I tried!!

Ahem, anyway, I actually really like this; it is bright, crisp and clean. A lovely bold colour scheme, very well executed. Nice photos help aswell (someone please send me photoshop!!). Good work.

As stated about 4 times above, you really do need to get some Badab Black on those highlights, that should sort it right out.

Right, now off to check your album out...

An excellent paint job and great photos. How is your Morathi attached, just glued at the knees?
