Especially in the first pic, your paint job there actually makes me slightly nauseous, he's just that disgusting.

I'm inclined to agree with n00b here. I can't see the detail from how far away the pics were taken...It looks really nasty from that far back

...hard to give you feedback...sorry.

I like the model (need to get mine painted) and your paintjob is great as always. Just one thing (not sure here, I'll probably see on the closeups): I'd have preferred the digestion sacs to look more slimey. Probably the same colour as the tentacles and definitely a good coat of gloss varnish...

But maybe that's just me
