Hi all,
New to the forum so by way of introduction I thought I'd post my latest mini completed a couple of weeks ago. It's a converted Mephiston with wings from a Dark Eldar Scourge and a base from Tabletop Art. I painted it with oil paints over an Acrylic base coat.
Any feedback and tips for improvement gratefully received as I'm always looking to push things forward.
Cheers!

Looks good, but your camera is super fuzzy - is it set to Macro setting? The image is really blurry.

Thanks both,
Elbows, I think the fuzzyness is a probably a resolution issue - I was being conservative with the file sizes. Some higher res shots are available on my Imgur page below. I will do some homework to see what the highest res I can post to Dakka is - many thanks for the feedback!

The base is incredibly well painted and really help in making the rest of the models composition work.
The wings, plasma and candles make the whole look vibrant and warm without compromising the dark and brooding feel of the actual model -in fact it almost make Mephiston himself look somewhat obscured in a gothic gloom.
Well done.
Edit: The paintjob and details are incredible, and there is nothing I can say that would improve your skills.

Experiences with my Gallery suggest that 4.9MP is the max you can upload without Dakka applying compression.
