The Standards not done yet but Straken is.

c&c appreciated

The standard is done very nicely.

Not sure about Straken looks like he needs a little something extra.

The standard it self is painted very well indeed, but I can't help thinking the skin needs a more natural shade than purple. Personal preference though.

For Straken, I think he lacks dynamisism (I may have made that word up). I can see you've gone for the strong, commanding pose look, but he needs more aggression in his posture. Maybe he could be flourishing the shotgun overhead, or instead of the pistol, be barking orders into a comm-link?

Finally, I think both models are lacking a camo pattern. Your green is wonderfully crisp, but it could do with some brown and black tiger stripes to really set it off.

Cadian, its funny you said that because i was thinking the same thing and just bought some brown for camo. i just dont know how to do it though..

Great figure and standard, but I see what some others are talking about. Perhaps it's your photo, but the figure seems to lack 'depth'.

Nice painting though!

Shraken needs more stuff on him he looks a little plain
