Attached is the link to two new minis I just painted
Both are test minis, I am currently going thru a kick where I am really trying to learn and improve. Any suggestions or comments will be of great use as I really want to move in the right direction.

I have been looking thru some youtube videos and tried wet blending on this guys sword, and I tried alot (maybe 15-20) super thin layers of super watered down paint on the scale mail. Let me know if ether was sucessful. For reference, the skin was painted in my standard style, of moderatly thinned paint with alot of changes to the color (ie brown w/ 1 drop of elf flesh, then a layer with 2 drops of elf flesh etc.)
Next is my Gladiator

He did not picture very well, his skin is the product of much more thinned paints, and I am very happy with it. Something else I did that was unusual I painted him in segments, ie I painted his face, then another time painted his arm. My normal technique is to paint all the skin, then all the leather, etc. Lastly I was trying for a NMM brass which I do not feel went well.
All comments are helpful, I am trying to very hard to reach the next level. (an 8.0-9.0 roughly on this sight, ie just below master) Im really stuck in the 6.0-7.5 range. (I dont put that much stock in the scores, but the comments help me improve, and hopefully the scores will follow)
