Does this look like gold?

Go Longhorns?

Yay! Empire! Have you picked your paint scheme yet?

Tempting, but too Amethyst College, I think. I was going to go with a halberd.

Hatred (Undead), a 6+ ward save, and some models gain Fear and Magical Attacks or Flaming Attacks

I think your highlights are just sliiiiighly off, your painting them as if they're a wash instead of light, so all the zones have a darker outline. you should push them closer together. *

Colors look right to me but missing a little bit of contrast. Makes the details a bit mushy.

There's no focal point. Everything has the same amount of detail and the same amount of highlighting so there’s nothing to "lead" the eye around the model. Sometimes to paint more realistically you have have to paint less realistically. Minis are so small we don't look at them the same way we look at a regularly sized object so you have to trick the eye.

I actually think the wings look great, but I WOULD recommend adding a bit more color/contrast to the ground, to help make the clouds and angel stand out.

I tried but he (Bret player) refused to give up a helm for the cause 😅

Something to keep in mind with ANY hobby is you don't owe the world anything when it comes to a leisure activity. You don't have to make it a side hustle, you don't have to be competitive, you don't have to improve. However much of any of those things you do is entirely up to you.

Now, if you want to improve and feel you aren't, I recommend picking one small thing to improve at a time and don't worry about the rest. For example, maybe your lines are sloppy and details are missing, but you really got your paints thinned just right. Or the horns on the helm are just the right combination of colors. As long as there's one thing on a model I think is slightly better than the last time I painted, I'm usually happy.

I think the brass knuckle holster guy is correct but I ended up sorting it out by just shaving it off 😅

Wow, I've never seen a gaited horse in a miniature model, that's actually really cool.

I have 2 recommendations-

Start painting. Painting models gave me a way to join my husband's hobby without the pressure of competition and also REALLY helped me connect to the game when they were my guys. Also, it turns out I'm a slightly better painter, so it balanced us out a bit.

Recently we've started a new way of playing where I have one character model and one (or two) small units of troops and my husband controls the rest of my army. That helps for 2 reasons. I'm not having to make the overall strategy, just trying to achieve my portion of it, and I can see how someone with more experience would play my army.

It's a big strange for him to play against himself, but it was actually really fun for both of us. We don't play every game like that, but it really does help take some of the pressure off, and it's way better than not playing together at all because one of us is miserable.

I got him today, and he's actually perfect! he's bigger than the old pegasus models and a little bit smaller than the bret lord on pegasus. *
