ha it's funny that over here the color on the lava trooper is aplauded and at st6 a darker color scheme was suggested...
I actually don't like the colors I used, I think I probably will go back and redo the colors a little darker.
Yeah, they tend to like more "realistic" customs, which might be confusing til you realize it means dark or dull colors, add drybrushing, and add gear, add gear, add gear. But every small group develops little trends like that. Over here, more based in SW where color is not scary.
Me, I like bright colors then ink, ink, ink,
For this guy, if he was for me, I'd want to lighten him up with yellows and oranges, make him for "fire themed" but I can also see the ST6 opinion that a dark scheme might tie him more to lava, especially the environment of Mustafar
But I agree, its your customs, so do what you think is cool or bad ass.
