Ok wow for 2 reasons, firstly you've been busy and given us lots of eye candy. The second reason is that there is a definite improvement. I really like the last model and the winged lady, you have a very distinctive style which has lots of contrast but with rather dulled colours somehow which works well.
Vermina: The skin tones on most of her are perfect, i really like the detail on her face ( i wish i could paint that sort of detail). I do however, feel the green of her clothing lets down the model a little and would benefit from some more shading and more contrast to suit the rest of the model.
Mockingbeast: Really nice smooth paint job, I think the metallics could benefit from some addition of other colours and again more shadowing to give a feel of a metallic sheen. I really like the smoothness and how you've achieved the red of the tongue
it's really good.
Alchemist: I've never been a fan of this sculpt but you've by far and above done this some real justice. The fur is done well the details are all done superbly and i really like them. My only criticism is the green cloth actually. I think it lacks the depth of shadows and highlights seen on your other minis, perhaps there is too much highlights.
As a general note, i think some things could benefit more with shading and shadows more to increase your contrast in your painting but it's a minor thing. I am rapidly becoming a fan and I really like the style of painting. Well done 
Fallen Angel: The skin and the blues work together perfectly I think this is my favourite model that you've painted so far and i am sure Dark Sword are proud and happy to have this commission well done for sure. My only quibble is that her hair is the only part which lets the model down. I think it lacks the sheen you were going for and looks hald finished. The wings and feather are done really well and don't overpower the model in anyway. The cloth i can see what you were aiming for but it's tricky to give it a transparent view when there is nothing behind it.
