Okay...
Now don't take me wrong, but to say the truth, these minis don't look good...
They don't even look dilligent...
The paint is applied too thick - especially the metallics - the are the worst metallics I have seen lately - sorry man...
They look as 4 or 5 i cmon rating for me. Something in between.

An other good tip would be to use more water in your ink, that would bring the shiny effect a lot down and it would get a lot smoother aswell.
Then I have two questions:
1 do you only apply a basecoat which you then ink down for the shadow effects?
2 or do you highlight everything and then apply an ink for the shadow effects?

If its the first you should either apply a highlight after the ink has been done or tone the ink down to only coloured water(you must be able to read something through the ink) which you can then apply several times to the wished end result.
If its the second you should use the watered down ink between the layers of paint.

Test the two make your choice and define your own style? good luck (maybe you already knew this all but thats ok)

I think they look unfinished. Yet a few layers of highlights would definitely improve the effect...
