So you may notice the eyes aren't painted at all - I was going for a distorted face like from the Exorcism of Emily Rose:
Drach'nyen is supposed to look like pale tortured skin - like the kind of weapon that might actually reach out and bite you if you aren't careful. The focal point on the mini is the bright hot claw however...
Let me know what you think.

That's a badass looking paintjob. I like the sword in flesh tones and the claw looks great.
However, I think we all know Abaddon will be scarier only when he gets a resculpt.

Yeah, the high contrast on the face really sells it.
Is the skin tone slightly green, or am I just seeing things?

Really cool!
It might be the contrast on the photo, but I do think that a yellow wash to tie together the layers on the claw, and a black wash to tie the armor highlights to the armor, would look better. I also think that maybe a red or purple wash (very faint) on the sword would look good.
However, as I said, that may be due to the lighting or camera. It looks ace anyway.

Thanks! You nailed it... It's this:
EDIT: It's actually this:

I use it as a base for all of my zombie / undead / sickly paintjobs

He looks really good. Would look really great if you can go back to those claws and try to blend the color changes a bit more.
