    Nicely done sir,
    thogh personaly I would be tempted to
    get a nice magic marker and add some
    irises to all of their eyes. :jawdrop:

    I think I'm going to leave the eyes stark yellow. It gives them a more predatory look that I want.

    I've been bouncing back and forth between a volcanic ash look or some kind of sandy beach. I've been searching online trying to find little crustaceans, starfish, and shells to use on the bases.

    A worthy modeling start to back up your excellent fluff piece.

    Try getting a sheet of glass and some green stuff rolled out on it, you can then cut some starfish from that, fluff it up a bit with the tip of your scalpel for texture. When it dries tap the edge with the knife and it will slide off the glass and you won't ruin it :)
    For long spiral shells roll a string of green stuff out, gently tweak one end and twist it , you can then cut it to size! It will take a little practice but its fun to do.

    I would consider washing the scales to get more definition into them and a subtle drybrush afterwards with yellow.
