Alright, I decided to incorperate the advice I got on my other two (Jarrik and Sarri) and figured I need to do an experimental figure to see how it all works out. Some things turned out better, some worse. Heres a list of changes
Photograpy:
Used my adjustable table lamp to get rid of shadows and have overall better lighting.
"Blank" background. For now its the box they came in, but I'm going to find a cardboard box, cut off the top and front, then put the model in it.
Some filters changes, mostly just removing the stupid "Vivid Color" thing the camera was set on.
Some have flash, some dont.
Painting:
Eyes are green now, looks way better than white did.
Teeth! They turned out bad, but its an experiment after all.
No shader. I need to keep the shade I used on Sarri, looked good.
Layered red. A light pink, a normal red, then a red brown. Just mixed mechrite with white and brown.
Chitin changes. Couldnt pull off streaking, so I went for a border around it. I'm happy with it.
Pink joints And Fleshy bits. Needs alot of work, and a lighter pink.
Gun details. The eye on the gun is green, to be replaced with yellow when I get some.
Brown base rim. Looks more professional, I'll keep it.

Any things I should change, remove, add, ect?

Quick edit. The first 3 or 4 pictures are ones I took before rembering to base it. Ignore them.

God these pictures turned out horribly. Might need to get a better camera, or something with zoom that isnt super blurry.

The quality of the images are too poor to really see improvements.

New pics, I wanna see them teeth!

Yep, gonna try to get an old phone with a camera. Give me an hour or so and I'll have some new pics.

Alright, these are better. Some are a little blurry, because the phone doesnt make a noise when it actually takes the picture, so I end up moving it before its ready. As for the darkness, not much I can do about it. I had the lamp literally an inch away, and it was still dark.

Hey Hive Fleet - first off I dig the colour scheme. Your brush work looks neat.

The 'nid looks blurry because the camera seems to have focused on the box in the background, rather than the subject you wanted.

If you're getting too close with the camera, and it can't focus, pull out (ooer) a bit until the mini is sharp. You can always 'zoom in' when you crop the image afterwards.
