Just need to finish up the weapons and put one more bright green coat on the eyes. Oh... and dress up the bases.

Hmm, looks a little drab in my opinion. Tongues look cool though.

It's hard to see any detail. It's probably because you photographed them on a black background, but I can't really see anything but the green.

They're supposed to look almost like rock. Thanks for the honest opinion though

really crappy camera if i put the flash on it blows them out... if i don't you cant see anything. the highlights on them really bring them out but the lighting / camera are messing me up

The skulls on the standard look a bit bright. Might try washing them down a shade or two (black provides definition/shading, brown does so less starkly while making them look dirty) then highlighting back up, to taste. You should definitely post pics once you've done the weapons, horns, and bases. I'd suggest shining several lights on the models, if you can, and propping a sheet of paper behind them to serve as a uniform and contrasting background. Should help to give you the brightness and contrast needed to make the subtleties stand out. Can't critique what we can't see!

Was actually just adding a black wash to the skulls will def post with lights around when finished. Thanks for the tips!

Update: Macro Camera does two things for me... on the happy side it makes very visible my mistakes and need to wear glasses... on the other negative it makes me realize how far I have to go to learn to pain haha. But from a far they look great
