I paint with really poor acrylics that are thick and dont accept ink so cut me a bit of slack.

Some suggestions: As mentioned below, thinning the paints would help some. It especially shows on the one on the left in the yellow. Also mentioned below is highlighting, which would help with the one on the right's hair. I can see some shading on both, but the left one's helmet could use some. I'm personally experimenting with ways of doing white that work for me (a medium grey for the shading is working so far, I hope to have the miniatures done and posted sometime) Overall, these are good Harlequin conversions, though the Harlequin's Kiss seems just a tad plain. Some suggestions on how to liven it up on the cheap include modelling it melding in with the vambrace (forearm protector) or setting a hobby knife on it before mounting it to the arm and rolling to score a line all around. Alternatively, if you have the $, you can get a tube cutter and use that to score the tube. If you are having trouble with inks (I've seen some occasions where ink doesn't settle right, especially on minis that have been handled a lot before inking), perhaps a really thinned shade of paint would work. Using black lends itself toward a dirty, oily look. Hope these tips help! -Vulpin
