Well the pics a little grainy, but the red cloak is looking very smooth with great transitions. I would belend the white in more on the edges of the gold areas below his waist as they just look like they have been 'blobbed' on.

Good start, Scarifice. I would agree with Matty on the gold. The red looks good so far, but (and this may just be the picture) I feel it could use another highlight or two.

Happy new year to you too! I love the red, very smooth transitions plus i think the red with the gold nmm is one of the best palette combo around so keep on with the good work and no criticism for now

looking fantastic!
the eldar lend themselves really well to some freehand designs in the robes and such. touches like this seem to impress judges too.

As before the blend look very smooth and well blended, the contrast between the colours is great, and your lighting source (from above? zenithal?) looks great and looks like its all falling in the right spots. Though some of the gold 'bars' could be highlighted along the tops to exaggerate this further.
Great work so far!

At this stage it is difficult to criticise, it all looks so good... a couple of necessary points... what GD?? if it's UK you will have to pull out all the stops for something beyond excellence!(just realised you have already said German GD!! feck, some top painters there) Once you have the overall theme then i think we can help you best to pull up all the points ..that spending to much time on a mini lends to the painter not seeing.... ...ps. you are improving so quickly i'm going to have to shed my shell or i won't have a chance at GDUK.. if all goes well i'm entering the WH40K squad

The picture don't helps to judge but i think it's good, as menace said better to wait the overall theme.

The Eldar is looking great, I am not sure about the freehand yet but it is a bit early to tell from this,

He is looking good. I don't know if it is the photo or not, but I think the red robes looked better in the earlier photos I think the gold nmm looks pretty good, and the freehand looks good so far.

it is always a problem for me to take good pictures of red but the first picture shows how the red really looks and thanks for the comments

Can't help with nmm i'm afraid but the freehand lacks any highlighting... this should match the tonal variations of the cloak... you may also want to bling it up a little by adding a lighter line to the upper side of the dark lines
