"mmm...okaaay"... just mimic the VD from the american company that recently bought the company im working at. cool texas guy that ended every sentence that way 
anyway, first images of the paintjob! wanted to make something different than usually so it became a pattern of veins all over the skin. im soooo happy the other arm is a robotic one as this took ages to get decent. ended up looking pretty unhealthy anyway. it really is a hard mini to paint!
oh, and that smudge ting on the red can is masking fluid, i wasnt able to finish that detail yesterday because of the little monster at home.
anyway, on with da pikks

hey thanks folks, isnt he got some sexxy skin??
Some ink is used at the darkest parts, thats why he is a little glossy. its a little bit enhanched by the camera though.

thanks folks, feedback really make the whole project funnier :good:
much of the skin is like all my works alot improvisation (...or by accident lol). i believe i used ½ VMC russian uniform + ½ white for basecoat, but i believe catachan green instead uf russian uniform would look very similar. then i painted all the veins using scab red, lich purple and black. then shading with as usual lot of colours; red purple, scorched brown, dark red and at the deepest parts w&n blue-black ink. highligt is rotten flesh and white. hope that helps

Great skin, looks very sick!
Awesome new project, love this miniatures.
But I am not sure about the color for the hood. I would have choosen a brighter color for the hood, maybe some dirty leather tone?
If you would give it a brighter color you:
1. Get the focus to the head (if it stays the biggest, brightes area on the miniature)
2. You get a better separation to the skin, which then also stands out
No offence, just my 2 cents.
Best regards

Craki! =) Nice to see that you re alive. Heard you ve given some nice hints to Stef.
I wouldn`t use a brighetr color for the skin since he`s lifting up the imperial guardsman with his right arm in front of his face. So the focus should be the "guardsman`s arm".
Another 9er my friend

of course i take no offence, its great to hear what you have to say about it (thats the point with wip after all!)
unfortunately im pretty happy with the dark hood and it is rather heavily blended so i hope it still going to be the focal point when its all done.

I think you got me wrong, I suggested to take a brighter tone for the HOOD, not the SKIN!
@SkelettetS
Well it was just a suggestion. An other possibility you have is, to get the focus on the imperial soldier he has on his arm OR you could try to give this beast some glowy eyes with some nice OSL.
