Spirit is so over the top cheesey that I really like him. Good use of that back pack to make it fit the theme. Evil Knievel would be jealous.

I've said it before, but your painting just keeps getting better and better, DJ!

The Duke torso used for Valkyrie has always been a design that I've never liked. Here, though, you made it work. Somehow painting the holster white actually hides the poorly sculpted shape of it.

My only suggestion would be to paint the flesh tone on Valkyrie. I know, I know, it's already flesh tone. True. If you paint the entire head flesh tone first, then add on the other colors (on top of the flesh tone) this will really alter the appearance. Just something to think about.

Again, your painting is really skyrocketing.

Head is Falcon's.
Torso is Muskrat's.
Arms appear to be Thunder's, I'd need to see them in a more neutral pose to know for sure.
Ditto the waist and legs.
