Thanks all!
It's really fun to paint something that is more organic. There is a lot less guess work about what colors to use and what not. I have been going back in with my whites and starting to build soem transitions from scale to not scale but painting the white gets a little monotonous so I knocked out half of a face. I might go in with a tad more red and a tiny bit of dark blue.
Oh, Protip for the novice painters out there: If you are going to paint an open mouth, paint the tongue first, otherwise it will look like your giant reptile man got lipstick all over his teeth. Ask me how I know.
