Looks good. But I think the base would look better with a more gray and less brown tone.

thanks! actually the base isnt done, i am not sure what to use. I want the army to look uniform but also compliment the colors of the model. I am gonna build a temple for these guys too.

I just think that if the base were in the same shade range as the scales as opposed to the skin the contrast would make it pop more.

Do you use a light box when you take your pics?

Excellent highlighting! Great color scheme. Do something with that eye (I'm sure you will). If the whole army is to that standard, you should rock the paint scores and perhaps grab a few best army votes.

But yes, the base is a bit plain. For a model that good, you should do a bit more. Don't overdo it... but don't leave it that blank.

Thanks guys! Yeah i am gonna add some of the scortched grass instead of the regular kind. The old stuff is way to bright and wont help the model pop.

Joe - I dont use a light box. I just use a piece of plasticard behind the model and my painting light on top.

Really looks very nice.

I agree a bit more stuff on the bases will help.

Texture and color variations are nice a couple of scattered big rocks, grasss whatever.
