Great work. Love the dread knight in the first post. You don't see enough pole arms in drawings. Good job. (My next knight drawing will have a pole arm I think )

Your black and white stuff is awesome and looks really good. I'm not a big fan of your colors though. I'm not sure what it is. The range of lights and darks isn't as strong and your palette choices lean a bit on the over saturated side. When you paint in color, are you doing monochrome first or working strictly in color? Are you more of a Photoshop or Painter person?

mainly straight colors. almost never greyscale to color. i use both painter and ps depending on my mood or if i want to use a certain brush type. and while i do agree my color work isnt the strongest, it is difficult to create images perfect on all monitors. the color stuff looks saturated to me as well on my desktop, but not my laptop(art comp). eh.
thank you for the crit though, i know it is a point i need to improve.

You should try grayscale first since your tones are so good and then color over it. I'm by no means an expert as I was Art Directing for 6 years and that got me away from painting (I'm just getting back into it now), but a lot of the top digital artists on conceptart.org do it that way.
