Nice job. The skin tone is spot on.

It's from an Imperial Guardsman's perspective. You think he wants to admit to the commissar that he didn't notice the bright orange knives before they shanked his commanding officer? No, he's going to tell him Snikrot was made of smoke and shadows and killed people in their dreams with blades of pure night.

ROFL yes! This is a private didnt know moment. He saw nothing and just heard noises! Love it!! Thanks for all the kind words, I base coated the knife with blazing orange and then from here, just mixed equal amounts of sunburst yellow with the orange to eventually get to just yellow. Once that was done, I made really watered down of 50/50 blazing orange and sunburst yellow. Then drew squiggly lines around the blade kinda like lightning, then highlighted this with 50/50 sunburst yellow and white.
