lol so i thought id take a break for my main sceme and try something new for a change, il let the picks do the talking

what am i looking at?

if it's albeano then why is it's carapace black?

Looks good, but the carapace could do with some colour.

nototheman: your looking at boredom and a want to try new techniques lol

origami chicken: albino is a lack of pigment in the skin not bone/chittin

valkyrie: i was thinking that but im keen to keep it realy basic, but i was thinking of doing a light pink like the nose on the detail bits on the limbs but i dunno yet

I don't think it looks very albino, just pale grey. Albino animals tend to lean to the creamy whites, not the grey whites. And depending on the carapace colour it could change, it depends if the colour is pigment or structurally based; if you look at birds for example the blacks and blues are pigment and so not there in albinos and the yellows are structural. So an green albino parrot is yellow and a blue parrot goes white. If you wanted a dark carapace, I'd go some variety of brown.
