Mind blown, excellent shading and transitions wow!

Beautiful can't wait to see more of your work.

I'm not a huge fan of that super airbrushy style, but the transitions are really smooth and the colors are really nice.

Your work is obviously good, but I'd suggest using less photoshop on your images to clearly show whats going on.

.

Truly excellent job of airbrush skills, detail work, and weathering.

I have one issue though:
The use of the rust effects don't make sense when paired with the cleanliness of the paint job. I've seen your other jobs, and watched your Youtube stuff, so I know you like your Typhus Corrosion/Ryza Rust combo. But it's starting to feel a little gratutious in doing it on seemingly every job solely because it's a cool effect. It's starting to come across as your calling card: "Next Level Painting! Cool airbrushing, with rust effects!". I do like it on your HH Mechanicum army, but not here. Same goes for the gun barrel burn effects.

The marine stuff needs chipping to justify the rust. Perfect paint with rust looks really awkward. :/

Also, can't say I'm a fan of that many colors on the weapons. Metal and overheating sure (or even colored holding brackets if they are on the weapon), but the blue on the tips looks weird to me.

That being said, if the weapons were toned down a bit and the rest of the model either weathered with chipping or with no rust (keep the heat marks on leading edge of the storm raven, that looks great like it just came down from orbit) it'd look much better.

I really like the Eldar stuff.

Looks good on the elder fighters, very organic looking. Not a fan of the marine ones. Too air brushy and clean almost like a cartoon. Not a bit of weathering on what should be beat up and scratched up blocky marine vehicles. They are just too smooth.That and the purple cockpits look flat out silly. Gun barrel bluing effect while I give kudos on the attempt, fails on delivery when it comes to the transitions between colors.

Those eldar flyers. Just wow. The cartoon style of the sm flyers may not be everyone's taste but they're still lovely models that have been done really smoothly. Well done. I have never tried over heat effect and imagine it's difficult but I think that's the least well executed part of them. I really like burnt effect too

The airbrushing and rust effects look fantastic. Very pleasing to the eye.

The only thing is that there should be a lot more rust on the hull of the ships if the engine is that rusty. From what I can see of the rust that you've done so far, it would look great.

I know that after doing that beautiful airbriushing job, it is hard to change what we think as painters as perfect, but sometimes you have to paint over what you like to have the piece make sense.

Very smooth, but to mirror some other commentors, I'm not a huge fan of the cartoony airbrushed look. It makes me think the painter doesn't know how brushes work, which is probably not the case.

Past that, whichever Techmarine allowed his engines to get that rusty while maintaining a flawless paint job should be put down as a tech heretic.

Reminds me of Buzz Lightyear.

Thank you

The weapon tips look off, the purple and blue transition should be a darker tone, especially the enchanted blue, I personally use inks and dry powder for that effect with great result.

I like the weathering effect, but as some others have mentioned, it's clashing with the clean air brush technique underneath. I'm not a fan of painted windshields, though the marine one you did comes out really well.

Too much air brush. Maybe it has to do with the 'level' of painting they paid for. Obviously skilled work, but just a bland style.

Airbrushing like three color is difficult?

And I am with the others. Too cartoony and the Corrosion/Rust combo looks way out of place on these, made more evident by the cleanness and lack of chipping.

I really loved the T-Wolves, but these aren't my cup of tea.

They are really nice. Very stylized - which is going to polarize some people. But nice nonetheless.

Thank you. I was about to quit painting because of how awful i am at it apparently
I typically try to stylize my work, thanks for noticing.

Haters gonna hate, great work bud! I've learnt a lot from watching your vids and these are simply stunning. Impressive as always and who's to say that the chassis of the aircraft aren't made from some lightweight composite that doesn't rust and the engines/mountings are? A little imagination in our little world of make believe goes a long way.

It's about having visually appealing minis and these are most certainly that!

Really great job, I think your style works well on the Eldar stuff, I'm don't really like the Blue you have used on the Marine Flier, but as a whole - still very nice.

I'm not sure why Air brushing get such a negative response. Everyone is different, for example it takes me hours or days just on 1 standard model, but I enjoy painting and wouldn't change that. I can still appreciate the skill of someone else who chooses to do something different to what I'm doing.

Yes sir! I never looked at it like that, i was just going with my heart.
