These are my earlier to my later paint jobs- all Eldar.

A guardian Defender indicative of my first few paint jobs:





I've now discovered inks and drybrushing- When I got my Dire Avengers, i went a little overboard with them. The results were not so pretty.

Non other than Exarch Nek'tel himself, with a paintjob that does not do justice to his sheer awesomeness.




here I've refined my style a little, but i still went overboard with inks.
Just a Dire Avenger



Here I went with something different- a snow-pattern ranger. He's not the best, but he's a damn sight nicer than my Dire Avengers.


Looking down the barrel


I've found my use for inks in these next pics: On a smooth surface. In this next model I try to combine drybrushing, inks, and highlighting.
It doesn't turn out so bad.

A wraithguard



next is one of my best (and most recent) models. You might recognize her from my avatar.

Howling banshee:



I hope I've improved, but that's for you to judge.

Yeh dude you really have improved, that banshee is really good! I would like to see the sword a little clearer though.

What time scale were all those...like first model then a month of painting till the next or straight after etc, as there is a clear improvement!


slappy

They have been painted pretty equally spaced over the course of 2 1/2 years.

The blue and green are both harmonious and complimentary colours, very fitting for an eldar army, good selection.

Your work has certainly improved over that time.
