Just thought i'd share, not finished yet.
suggestions for what to put on the loincloth? it can't stay that colour, it's icky. also i'm thinking purple gems.

The basecolour needs changing, it clashes with the metals. Apart from that it looks about as good as I thought it would when I suggested it to you :P

Just wondering why is it glowing green when Avatars of Khaine are said to have their insides consist of lava (or maybe molten metals) and would probably glow intense red.

Maybe its molten Copper? :) But no Dalamar is right green seems like an odd colour choice, nice effect though

I like the evil looks of it, especially the green glow in the eyes. But I'm not a huge fan of the light blue blade and the cloth. I would either make both black or the cloth dark green with bright green runes on it and the blade metallic with swirls made from a mix of green ink and mithril silver. The blue doesn't go very well with the green, especially since it is so bright.

HUZZAH!
When I think of something witty, I shall put it here.

yer the green doesnt look that good but it is painted pretty well. yer im with most of the other people the light blue blade doesnt look good. maybe if you darkened it a bit? that might help or try putting the colour on the blade near the hilt a darker blue then slowly working towards that light blue?
If you ever need anything, please dont hesitate to ask someone else first.
