S'Erum the Ophidian Guy's Other Side
This is the S'Erum I just painted. I thinned my paints drastically (thanks for the suggestions, guys on the forum!) and he did come out better. I'm not really fond of his armor thing. I don't mind the purple, but I don't like the silver much, I should have stuck with a non-metallic color for that. I am pretty happy with the skin and glazing. The armor and weapons. Meh. I wish, in retrospect, I had put the arms on the model last. It was really difficult to paint the insides and underbelly with them assembled beforehand. This is the fifteenth or so model I've painted. I've only been painting less than a month. This guy is leaps and bounds better than I expected he would be. I want to do my S'ygma model with a pattern, perhaps a timber rattler pattern or a gaboon viper pattern. I love snakes.
