Nahh, no cooties. Just, IMO, not a lot to say. They look good. The shading and highlights look good. Maaaayyyyybbeee you could use a little bit more blending of the highlights. And the fleshtones look good. Slap some more paint on those dudes and I'll be glad to give more feedback.

P.S. It looks like the guy with rifle is in a leather jacket, is that right? Is that how you are painting him?

Hi Ian
Your paintwork looks good!. What medium are you using and tell us some more about your shading and highlighting technique. What are you using for skin tones?

Keep going, looking good!

Cheers

Hey everyone sorry that i didnt include more pics...
@Bill - the leather jacket is what it shows in the boxart so I figured Id follow that considering its a winter setting.
@Koen - Thanks buddy
@Garth - How i do shading and highlighting are pretty normal for acrylics (Vallejo) jsut put down a base coat, let dry, then take a darker color and slowly build up thin diluted coats of that color in area where shadows would be. You can also add black to the basecolor to darken it. Highlights are the same just instead of adding black you would usually add white, just put down thin coats of lighter color on areas where highlights would be while steadily getting more bright in the middle.
