I rather like the lower contrast skin with the high contrast plates and gear. I'm still getting up to speed painting, but I like the smoothness of the blends on the skin. What technique do you use for that?

I apply the Reaper Dark Elf Triad with an airbrush for the skin, then touch it up with a little bit of brushwork for the highest highlights and deepest shadows.

Gotta say, I love the colors on the beasts especially. Very inspiring work!

Nice, that purple(lavender?) Hair makes an excellent focal point.

awww Azrael looks fantastic. I couldn't bring myself to paint him in grey like that cuz I didn't think I had the skill bring out details with contrast.
Can I pester you to describe the process on painting the fire and the bone bits?

Fire: paint the flame bits pure white. then I used yellow ink, orange ink and red ink on successively smaller areas. I like ink over white rather than paint because it comes out much brighter. I then mixed dark brown (almost black) with the red ink and finally finished off with the dark brown. I used Reaper MSPs and Vallejo Game Inks for this.
The bone is very easy. Bone color (in my case Reaper Bathalian Chitin, a bone color with a greenish tint) then Citadel Agrax Earthshade, then edge highlight with the base bone color.

The skin is looking a touch flat, especially on the first model. Very nice shading and highlighting on the skirt though.

Yeah, I didn't spend a ton of time on these models, as the sculpts didn't really inspire me to put forth my best effort. It's good to know that skimping on the skin was noticeable, though.
