I'm probably not going to do more with the snake tail bit; I'm pretty happy with it as is. Next will be finish off the skin...I'm at that 'hesitating because I don't want to screw it up' stage.

I say great job so far. It might be the lighting but you might wat ot take the highlighting on the tail one step further to mark the edges of each scale at bit better

I like the striped pattern, it's looking good.
you might want to define scales better though. A wash to deepen shadows, and stronger highlights on edges of each scale.

as for skin - don't hesitate, as you have to paint it anyway grab your paints and brushes, and fire away

the snake part is really nice! waiting for more

That patterning on the scales is really nice. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Looks very promising!

Shaded and highlighted the skin, weapons, and belt, and put in eyes. Added some additional highlight to the scales, though it doesn't show wonderfully in the pictures. Actually, my lighting for pictures today was not great, so it looks a little..off. Based on feedback from my last posted finished mini, I tried to increase the contrast on the metals.

The main thing left is the jewelry on her arms, which I haven't touched at all. I'm falling behind on my Stuff To Get Done this month, so I'm going to have to try to finish her up soon and stop futzing with stuff.

Great work on the snake pard, very well done.

Skin looks good also, but I think some areas need some more highlighting, for example the boobies.

I'd like to see some weathering on the blades but it's just my personal taste
