    I love it!!! Only thing I would do differently is I would add some kind of wash to the skin to bring out more contrast. Then you can highlight the skin to keep the contrast between skin and scales. Great work and looking forward on seeing more!

    Maybe try washing the skin with badab black or asurmen blue? For the gold areas I would wash with devlan mud. I think most would agree its one of the most widely used washes around. Hope this helps. Oh and great job on the unit by the way!

    Nice mate. I agree with the others, wash the blue skin asurmen blue, the weapon and gold with devlan mud and the back scales badab black. The difference will amaze you!

    Looks good! I really like the contrast of the black on blue. I would highly recommend an Asurman Blue wash over the skin for some shading effects in the joint recesses. Add that and It outta look amazing! ;)
    Also, never used Devlan Mud, but I know a wash of Badab Black over the scales would look nice as well.
