Hello,
This is my first post on the forum and not sure how good/bad my painting is, but I want to improve my painting.
I use gw, valejo and valejo air and use the dip shade sometimes.
I drybrush a lot and my blending isn't really working most of the time.
I really could use some feedback!
Here is my Flickr account with some older and some recent painted miniatures on it.

hi hello
Nameless is right - if you want feedback, make giving it to you easier for others. save their time so that instead of going to other sites they can spend it commenting on your works

I knew there was a faq just could not find it when i needed it. Thanks.
But i post on forums with my tablet and some actions are really not ''nice'' for working with a tablet. I hope it works now.
Edit still not working...
Img tag giving an error and flickr with an rimg not working either... seems i need to get rid of flickr..the end. That was the last attempt.

Let me tell you...
choose "actions" on Flickr
then "view all sizes"
select size (eg. large)
right click, copy address/URL of the image
use it in the RIMG tag
Hope it works for you

Re: i want to become a better painter
I don't think it's flickr or tags, rather the address you are putting in tags here.
you need address of the picture, not page! flickr does not allow me to check the exact address (at least I can't find a way).
log in to you flickr account, right-click on the picture, search for address or properties. you should find a "http://flickr....jpg" address somewhere there.
EDIT: Mahon's too quick for me

Hey
Welcome in our little community
Regarding your painting, drybrushing is not a crime, I do brush myself aswell (and I'm way behind uber painters here hehe) but you can achieve some effects with drybrush that aren't easy to do when you can't master advanced technics, so for starts it's always nice.
Your painting is sharp (colors aren't spread on other zones than the ones they should be one), the sword of Abaddon is nice, details of the souls are still visible so it means your painting is thin enough.
There are perhaps a little too much colors on Abaddon that makes him a little clownish (red, green, bone, purple, blue). He's supposed to be a Chaos Lord, not a Jester, so you may want to reduce perhaps the number of colors, but besides that (cause it's just my opinion, not my miniature so if it pleases you like that it's what it should be) it's ok for table top. As for the Sister, same remark as Abaddon
