I put more purple and highlights please comment on things to make my SM look great.

youve done well,colors are dark but it maybe the pic?

Thanks. Ya they are kind of dark. The purple is liche purple with warlock purple highlights. If I use the flash it looks really bright but its not. I will try to take some better pictures so everyone can see him.

Looks good from what i can see, i think it could maybe do with some more highlights or maybe thats just the photo, i cannot really tell.
nice work anyway man.

Thanks ya the pictures are a little dark. Im thinking to put a little more hightlights. There is hightlights maybe if I make them a little brighter. Any sugguestions?

I think it needs a slightly lighter basecoat.

Just a bit too dark

At zilegil what color brighter base coat do you sugguest?

I've been down this road with purple armor and black bases. If you change to a neutral brown base edge it would lighten the look a bit. And also use more lighting when you take the pictures. The shadows are making it look darker than it is. I would suggest using a lighter green for the eyes. Possibillly make the blue a shade or two lighter.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense I will try this and put up pictures asap.

Here is my newest changes please comment and make sugguestions thank you.

Looks much better. I would paint the bolter and backpack exhaust ports a metal color. The skull on the backpack could be blue or green.

Ok thanks I will try that.

Here is the changes I just made I think he is done. Please comment and make sugguestions. Thanks for looking.

Looks better. Maybe make the bolter casing green. It just need a little bit to make it pop.

For your next marine you may want to consider narrowing your palette. For example; purple and green are great contrasting colors. Make them the focus and minimize the red, brown, and blue. Consider using only one per unit. I think there is a good color scheme in this idea, it is just a matter of finding the right proportions.

Thanks I will try making the bolter casing a shade of green. I do like how the colors work together so I'll think about it but idk if I would change it much.
