As the topic suggests I have just finished painting my very first lizardman! Let me know what you guys think any tips/suggestions are very welcome
Pretty cool for your first lizzie. My critique is that it is very monotone. I'm a big fan of bright, colorful, contrasty lizardmen. http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/rating?time=30 If you go to that site it will auto generate complimentary colors to go with the colors you want to use, so you can put that orange/brown as the main color and see what colors it recommends to go with it. That way you don't have to worry about a color variety looking weird because it will have 3000 years of color theory behind it.
Looks great! Maybe a different colour on the shield, so it's not completely red/orange and brown? I did a similar thing with my saurus (green scales, green shield), and it looks a little bit too green-blobbish from a distance.
Thanks for the tips guys! I agree that it is too samey. I've repainted the shield green and will post pick tonight. Good call on that website btw, found it very useful.
