Well, I said I'd do you a crit when you'd finished, so here it is:
Overall, looks very good. Technique wise and brush control seem very good, and many parts look fantastic (especially the back of the robes).
However, going back to what you were trying to do with your OSL and general mood, I'm not sure you've gone far enough with the contrast.
My number one rule for doing any kind of hard lighting is: Keep everything dark!
The bone and wooden shaft need to be much darker, especially on the front of the model (which is supposed to be in shadow, I believe...).
The surrounding base also needs to be much darker. Go and stand outside at night, holding some wood and some paper (or bone, if you happen to have some around...). See how dark they are? That is what you're looking for... =P
The lighting around the eyes kinda works, but I'm not really convinced that it is coming from the eyes...
I like the backs of the graves (the streaks seem nicely stylized, and kinda match the back of the wraith), but the rest of the base is defnately a tad wobbly... I think it's just a bit to monotone, but with the wrong tones, if you see what I mean? (not sure that is a very good way of explaining it tbh).
Hopefully that'll do you!
Good stuff bud.
BTW, that's 2 undead things, you starting a VC army? New models soon...!
-t.
