Greeting,
I wanted to share progress on my Genestealer Cult Neophytes project, though I don't know if anything of it is worth showing now that I looked at photos:








I kinda like that bright yellow color, kinda nice in my eyes but I don't know if I did a good job with them. What do you think?

I do like it, but the colors look a bit too thick and glossy.

Maybe you could add some depth to the skin and metals with some opaque washes such as reikland fleshshade for the skin and nuln oil for the metals.

The color palette is nice tho. Maybe it is the photos.

It may be a different thing entirely - I used a satin varnish for finish, it really doesn't look like it in normal lightning and without lenses.
Maybe that's why my camera doesn't like it.

I love the color, but the border between the headgear and the skin needs to be more defined.

I swear I tried to do everything you pointed out but I slowly start doubting that my skill is good enough... I seriously can't see any flaws until I make photo and everything is zoomed. I think there might be a problem with my eyes...

Give yourself a bit more credit, they look very nice and faithful to the book scheme (especially like the caution stripes on the shoulder pads). Photography in general is tricky, particularly in getting the right light.

where am I? *looks around* Well i'm...errr...I...I...don't know!

Photography has a habit of picking up on the worst features...be it us, or miniatures, so don't get down heartened by it. Practice and you'll see the improvements quickly. Your painting looks really clean and crisp which is a great start! look into adding a bit more depth to each area of colour you have with shading/highlighting or both!
Its a really good start though and a great choice of colour scheme - they'll look brilliant as a squad together.

Exactly this!

You are off to a great start. Practice and patience will see improvements in your brushwork. There are plenty of painting videos on You Tube alone.

They look really great. Give yourself some credit for sure.

I try and take a set of photos now and nit pick those cuz I can see things I missed in them. Use it as a tool
