UPDATE 9/22/19
I wasn't totally happy with my previous painting attempts. So, here are some updated minis, with which I'm a bit happier. I tried to combine Contrast paint for basing/shades (with mixed results) and I tried to put into practice some of the great advice I've gotten on this site. I'm still not totally happy with my palette, but I was challenged/encouraged by a friend (who is MUCH better at mini painting) to actually paint one mini completely. So, I just used the colors I have. Only part unpainted is the eyes of both (I have no yellow paint). Also apologies for the washed out camera phone photos.

I really like using Baharroth Blue as a base for both skink and saurus. I use Aethermatic Blue Contrast for skink skin and Akhelian Green w/Contrast medium (approx. 1:2) for the scales. The saurus is washed in Akhelian Green & Contrast medium (1:2) for the skin and Leviadon Blue & Contrast medium (1:2 again) for the scales.

Let me know what you think.

Let me respond to your latest post with this.

The aboe quoted paintjobs are great. The skin and scales are well executed and clean. The gold is opaque and without brushstrokes. Yea, you could continue to highlight these to a better standard or pick out extreme details. You are a good painter, and you should not put your art-work down. :)

That's very kind of you. I know you don't know me that well, but putting down my work is kind of my jam. :p
