I always thought of this guy as a serpant made out of pure fire with arms so i wanted to paint it that way. i gave it 8 coats of paint (including highlights) of different color to make it a firerie, dont touch or youll get burded look.
cool but next time try to start from a light color base as yellow then starting to darkening the "highlights" and not lightening them... u'll have a burning heart and a cool effect of burning inside
