Highlight neatness is ok, though I find the armor to be too dark. In the pics it comes more black than dark blue. Could benefit from more detailing, such as the bolster skull-eagle, backpack vents, wrist buttons, etc. You seem to control the brush fine; it just feels unfinished.
Windsor & Newton series 7 brushes are nice, and I hear good things about Rosemary & Co.
I'm the type that tends to feel uncomfortable using costlier brushes, so I usually just pick up batches of Winsor & Newton Cotmans or Princeton Selects when they're on sale.
I'd recommend sampling various brands to see what feels best for you.
