Alright, so if you haven't seen my Dubstep Tau log, I invite you to follow the link in my sig to get a feel for how this army is coming together. That said, here is the current state of my Shadowsun (aka Silvertongue). The build is exactly how I want it, but I'm not 100% sure the paint is going right. I'm mostly concerned about the blue lining all over the face, wondering if it's too much, or if it just needs to be mirrored on the other side of the model for it to really come together. Or maybe I could keep it as it is, and go with a half and half color scheme. I'm going in a dozen directions on this and I need some advice and feedback before I go any further.






I'm thinking that if nothing else I need to add some white to some of the lines to make them pop and bring the design together. I'm just having a hard time putting everything together in my head. This isn't a model I can strip and start over, because I think that will ruin the (bright purple) LED in the eye.

Anyone have any advice, thoughts, random insults?

The LED's a nice touch. I love it the way it is.
Definitely don't mirror the design, the model will become to confusing to look at
I'd go for a slightly sharper highlight, but otherwise looking god!

Another good model and I like the colours and all that.
I think the purple side looks a lot better but the blue adds a cool element to it.

I think the blue lines just need a few touch ups to make it more crisp but otherwise it looks great!
