A fun sculpt; I've been meaning to paint this guy for ages!  So, here he is in all his slimey glory.

One of your best yet IMO, I think the eyes could do with some more work to make them pop though.

Yeah, can't figure out what to do with the eyes; I feel I was doing too many pupil-less eyes lately.  Maybe I'll just give him yellow or orange eyes without pupils; the eyes are tiny.

So, please elaborate.  What makes this paint job so good?  I really don't see it, in fact I kinda rushed him to get him off of my table...

Small quibble, the top gum should it be skin colour or a sort of pinky lizard gum colour.  :icon_scratch:

For me it's the contrast on the skin.

For the eyes i'd personally go for a jewel effect.

as in, jewel the singer?  or a dark color with a white reflection dot?

Wristy -- I wasn't sure on the gums color.  but he does have a reddish tongue; I guess I can do a very pale pink

By the way; after looking at the pic on the PP website... is he supposed to have pocked skin (I thought at was a great job!) or is the cast pitted??
