Looking good, throw a little trim on the edges, a fine line of black/dark gray will make it more 3D and not so flat looking.

 

I know, I do black Dreads. The monochromatic look is kinda flat. Trimming the edges of the weapon sponsons, body and greaves will make it stand out much better.

 

Look here and you can see how I did mine.

 

Have fun, the painting is a learning process.

Then why ask for C&C?

good point, to consider such things in the future? pueriexdeus said painting is a learning process and this dread was a stepping stone towards improvement.

i tried highlighting the edges with mithril silver, but it hardly shows, so i just left it.

Dont know for sure, is the primary color Boltgun Metal? If so a Mithril Silver would just be too close to stand out. For future reference something darker might be better. Keep in mind in general a light primary color will need a darker highlight, while a dark primary color will want a lighter highlight.

 

Colors could work with your color scheme also. A fine line of red might be very interesting.
