I like it. Mine is very similar, but not nearly as highlighted as I've been debating how to add depth/highlights and keeping the skin looking black. After looking at yours I can't wait to take another crack at updating my paint-scheme. Thanks

hanks guys. Once I get some drying retardant I'll put the yellow on the carpace. I tried earlier as I was doing fine just working fast but the bright yellows just wouldn't have it.

Thanks swarmy. I wanted a dark grey body but my first few trials just looked like stone statues, so this one I toyed with purple undertones to give it a subtle organic look and it's work out good so far. I think when this one is done I'll paint one more before I fire up the assembly line. Been keeping a paint journal of every step, tweaking it along the way.
