I'm woking on a unit of these guys and this is the first one done. I thought the bright green might make it look more alive vs a standard brown bark. I think on the next ones I might go with brownish-yellow claws instead of red ones.
Good looking mini. I agree with you on switching to a brownish yellow on the claws. The bright green does make him stand out. Maybe having some subdued greens on the shadowed areas would help with the overall feel.
Not bad, but I agree abou tthe colour fo the claws. The red against the green kinda makes him look like he's been decorated for Christmas (even though red and green are a perfectly valid combo).
Attack celery! No, just kidding.. the green looks good. The red nails remind me of buds. It compliments the green, but it does make him look like a violent shoot.
