I think the carapace markings are a little geometric for an organic creature, just a personal take on it. The colors complement nicely and the painting is very good.

Welcome to the Hive! You've got an excellent start there. For future models, I'd use the darker red ink (magenta?) or mix just a little bit of Scab Red in with it to get a little more shading. Also, as BigPig mentioned, a bit more variety in the shapes of the carapace markings would make it look more organic. I look forward to seeing your work on larger Nids.

There's no such thing as "supposed to," and what you want doesn't matter. All that matters is what happened.
