Snapjaw

Snap! Jaw! Here's Wrong Eye's buddy. The hardest hitting beast Gators have. Not quite as much fun as painting Wrong Eye, but I did enjoy this model a fair amount.

What went well:
* Painting some scales with different colors randomly gave him a lot more interesting look.
* Using a more orange-ish color for the, uh, fins(?) on his arms gave a nice offsetting color addition. * Eyes turned out better than average for my gators and gives him a good "hungry hunter" sort of look

What could have been better:
* Better shading/highlighting on the chains to make them pop would have helped a bit
* Stronger shading contrast on his belly to accentuate the zenithal light source would have given him a more dramatic look

And boom! The pair is ready for prime time.
