still alot of work to do,but let me know what you all think

Shoot I like it. Ive never see a solid yellow nid scheme. Looks good man, put it on something huge and lets see how it looks

I like it... looks extremely menacing for some reason...

Maybe because it looks like wasp / bee

Yeah, very nice.

Like 'em. They remind me of hornets or wasps.

I agree with the rest. Nothing like a swarm of yellow jackets to intimidate the opponent.

*edit*
see what I did there?

Definitely wasp-like, however unless you're going for speed might I recommend doing the mouth piece in a different colour? Maybe a blue of some kind? Just to draw attention to the nasty bits ^_^

thats not a bee/wasp this http://thetyranidhive.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=painting&action=display&thread=18518 is a bee/wasp. still it's pretty good(lots of yellow/brown) i wonder what other nids would look like?

Way to hijack this guy's thread with somebody else's shi...

i agree, while the painting is good and its a nice scheme it could do with something that stands out. its a tad plain. Overall though its good, better than anything i could do

thank you Ghidorah for saying what i would say for the thread hijack cool so it looks plain ill add some blues to it as well as some reds and yes it dose look slightly like a wasp and yes the hugh carnifex looks more lime a wasp after all hes like what the size of a squad of genestealers,any ways thanks for the comments and ideas.

also this is a wip not a completely done paint job

I like it

I like the color scheme as well. I wouldn't say wasp, but it is definately a natural animalistic tone that you could readily find on tropical frogs here on earth. For this reason I like it alot more than the Raindow nids.

At first I was thinking that the bright yellow highlight used on the edges could be toned down a little or have a bit of a gradient buildup...but then I think you would lose part of the dynamic of the patterns.

I agree that the tenticles should be painted a different color but I don't think blue would be a good color as it would be too sharp a contrast and gets back to the "rainbow nids" scheme that you are trying to avoid. Maybe you could experiment with either a charred brown worked up to burnt red (brownish red) or dark red with a bit of violet mixed in. The darker reds (not bright reds or oranges) will complement the deeper ochres of your model IMHO. You can check out the skin tones on my biovores for an example of the "burnt red" or the big sacs on my albino's barbed strangler for an example of a "redish purple".

I like it, more than a wasp it reminds me of some spiders. Can't wait to see how they wind up.

Ditto, ditto, ditto and ditto! While it may not be exactly "Wasp/Bee/Hornet like" the scheme is such that it reminds me (and probably others) of a big scary, stinging bug. Well done!!! It stands out and is unique! Also a very natural looking scheme.

As for the mouth bits? What about a shiny blue/black, also similar to real bugs. Just some thoughts.

i like the paint scheme its very good but i think that if you did the tenticles either gore red or vermin brown toned down with bleach bone white it would look more edgy or you cold use black and tone it up to make it pop more

Yep Definately Tree Frog






Now after viewing the frogs, I wonder if the tenticles might not look better in more of a tan worked up to Bleached Bone?

this is the image i have,the frogs are awsome they have fuled some ideas,thanks wyomingfox ive added some blue claws,as of nowi have 4 projects going on so ill tryand post a finished minni this weekend

HEY, ITS WARPCRAFTER!!!!!!!
