the broodlord is coming along nicely. The synth shouldn't be that much worse for blending (or I have no idea how AlexyZ and some others did some great ones with them), but they don't last. So the one you use might see you through the Broodlord, but in the trash after that.
Some things about the head (the painted part):
- I don't know if you have an AB (and good enough control of it), but it would make laying down the base transitions much quicker and with less hassle
- I don't know if you have a white spray, but I'd mask the head and spray the model from above with it. I helps seeing where the light falls and helps with the red covering the black (which is usually a PITA to do)
- you should use some purple glazes between the red and blue to refine the transition there
- 'cheeks' (below the eye), 'forehead' (above) and around the vein could use more highlight to make them pop more
- similarly at the Y section of the vein and under it it could use more darkening. For contrast / color play / whatever I'd use some thinned purple (or purple + black) glazes there.
- now that I think about it the part under the cheeks and around the nose could use some extra shades too. You could push it to almost black, with just a hint of purple/green in them (mostly purple green maybe under the cheecks to separate the jaw part from the head more).
