Hierodule Done.

As always comments are welcome. How would you have done it? What would you change? Does anyone in the world apart from me think pink looks good?

I love your 'cell-shaded' nid style. Makes them look like they jumped right out of a cartoon.

I love it, striking model!! (like all of your nids)

"Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods."

I don't like how white the teeth are. They could be less bright in person, but in the photos, they look like they could be toned down a bit, as they draw the eye away from an otherwise amazing model.

I would paint the eyes red, or green or some such colour, that would really stand out from the rest of the model. As it is, i kinda think the eyes just fade into the carapace...

Your cel-shaded style of painting is just making my Tyranids green with envy. My only suggestion would be to *maybe* paint pupils on the eyes of this monster, but it still looks cool without them!
