Currently I am not quite sure what colour scheme to paint it.



Looking more towards a behemoth type colour scheme, but I am open for suggestions.

I really enjoy Menelker's work, his Carnifex is absolutely amazing.

That would be more towards the colour scheme I have my eye on.

But this color scheme looks good to me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6723961.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6723961.page GMT I definitely don't plan to make them look like toys. The black on orangish red neon look doesn't suit me either. Hopefully I can make everything come out the way I see it in my head.

Going to the store tomorrow to pick up some paints. WIP pictures will be updated soon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6723999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6723999.page GMT

I will be posting some test models up soon, just to see what you guys think, what I should change, etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6727020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6727020.page GMT
@Disdamn Nature is a very good inspiration, I should have followed your advice previous to my experiments Not all is bad though, I have more than enough paint variations to select a new palette. Black stands out as too unnatural for my tastes to be a primary colour for the carapace. The Emerald Tree Boa has always been one of my favourite snakes, so I may end up going with the exact opposite of your Tyranids. White for the carapace and green for the body.

I had narrowed the selection down to the boomslang snake, blue poison dart frog, Palawanese crab or the Sally Lightfoot Crab. I ultimately put down a bill of materials for the paints I'd need to buy for each vs what I already had in stock and ended up going with the boomslang because I only needed to buy a few extra colours. But there's lots of great animals in nature to take inspiration from]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6731672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6731672.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6733117.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6733117.page GMT
the blue poison dart frog is really amazing. It'd take some talent to do it justice. I would love to see someone pull it off]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6734810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/589717/6734810.page GMT
