I myself think my painting and sculpting has improved... quite a bit. But it doesn\'t really translate in the ranking much lately (talking half a year)... but it does in the ratings I get for seperate miniatures. I seem to break the 8 line more often then I though I could. Which I think with the higher and higher standard is something to be happy about. But comming down to it... I care most about my own feeling that I\'m improving then the scores I get. They are nice... but not the most important thing.
I\'ve dropped around 50 places in the last 3 months, despite gaining some 8\'s... even with the relatively recently posted waggamaephs (greens) included which are among my top 5 (nr 2 I believe)
