An experiment in silver

That's an awesome look.

I'd say coloring the gun and possibly his beard or something could be the next step in badassery* (my opinion, of course)

Very cool to see this, though.

Yeah, I would run a couple of layers of black wash over the gun to make it stand out a little from the armour, and paint the ribbing in the armour joints in black or grey.

Cool idea, though, and a nice, smooth paintjob.

Too monotone, there is a fine line between 'all silver' and 'painted all silver'... You have to differentiate your materials as has been said above, the ribbing/rubber sections especially. You can get away with a lot so long as you make sure to be contextually correct and provide enough material contrast to sell the illusions. If you are too uniform, the illusion is broken and it just ends up being 'sprayed silver everywhere'.

Good news is, it won't take much brushwork to touch the few details you need to sell it!

What about other metal colors, like a bronze beard, or gold wings on the chest?
It's super efficient, might have some silver orks in my future... jk

What silver did you use?

The gun at the leats needs more diffentiation. Try a brighter sliver for the winged skull icon. and a darker silver for the parts of it that aren;t the main casing.
