    I don't like the classic colour scheme of Sauruses. (blue lizards? No thanks)
    But your regiments look awesome.
    You made a brilliant use of drybrush,especially on the scale pattern on the sauri's back. Welk done! Your colours are smooth and it's a thing that i like on lizardmen minis. ;) keep yourself on this way!

    Thanks @Huanchi. It's all fine. Lizardmen er one of those races that can be any color schemes you can imagine and still look good. I myself just love the blue lizards even though it's not a realistic color for reptiles ;)

    I like the vibrant colours here. They really look sharp and crisp. Your chameleons look so good with their bright highlights! Really awesome looking skinks all around! Brilliant job here.

    Glad to see the red-crested skinks so well represented!

    I just searched jungle or something close on Google and printet the picture I liked the best. Its not great but I wanted my pictures to look a bit more interesting so I thought a background would be nice :)

    Ahh here he is! I finished my very first Sally. I tried to make the fiery look that you guys recommended (really.. I tried!) but I simply couldn't get it to work. It was getting quite frustrating with constantly starting over. I have very little experience with transitioning. So I painted in the more original theme of a bone color. I'm not 100% satisfied so I might go back and redo the sails when I've given myself a little breathing room ;) I tried to make the sails a bit more interesting by adding orange/brownish tones at the bottom but it didn't go quite according to plan.
    On the positive side though I am very happy with how the rest of the Salamander turned out. First time painting one of these guys and I had a blast doing so. The scales look almost black on the picture. They really are a dark brown. I might take a better picture and upload it soon.
    The base still needs a bit of cleaning up but I am glad I tried out the plastic plants. With a bit of practice I think it will add some cool jungle effects to my future bases.

    Oh and I found my other salamander aswell so I will paint him up too and upload a picture of the (hopefully) happy couple together!

    Thank you @Bowser and @tom ndege! It was very refreshing to paint such livid colors. Normally I only use bright orange for feathertips and jewels etc. But this guy needed it all over ;)
