Skin-tone is a fair bit darker than what is usual, but it looks good.. Looks 'real' somehow, like the sort of pigment you'd be likely to develop after thousands of years being tanned by eldritch fire.. -------------------- BattleReps and Painting

It would work better if they were a contrasting color to his skin, so they stand out. Even a white could look good! Perhaps maybe trying lightening up the highlights a tad too, but it really does look cool

It looks like perhaps you painted it a base color and inked/dipped it black. I would advise if you want it a realistic dark skin tone you highlight from a dark brown to red and ink or wash in browns. From where it is now I would just advise very gradual highlights to a lighter red. Anything left a solid black looks unfinished. Pick a color or metallic. I'm not a fan of the glossy look. I would hit at least the wings with a matte spray.

Do it in very thin layers or with some glazing and you won't spoil the aged brown skin look. Attention to detail and some of the wash work is excellent -------------------- It's pretty hypocritical to deride GW for valuing their pocketbooks over what's good for the growth of the hobby while you are buying on ebay and playing in your friendly local gaming store.
