Insidious Commander Starscream

"You do realize the Autobots have abandoned you?"

OHMAHGEWRD I love this bastard. I've always been a Starscream fan, but the Transformers Prime version is perfect. He's untrustworthy and cowardly, but often poses a legitimate threat. AND Steve Blum lends him this amazingly slimy and slithery voice. Even though the writers tend to play him more for comic relief, (don't get me wrong, the Starscream abuse is really funny most of the time)he's easily my favorite transformer.

AND
he has stiletto heels.

Anyway, this piece was a huge exercise in technique for me. I've never pushed myself so far with lighting,mood, and color. Starscream's finish is hard to get to look right-I don't think I nailed it-it's dull and sort of scuffed up and really soaks up color. It's my first time painting metal, or a piece with a cool color scheme. I didn't accomplish everything I wanted, but I learned a lot.
Also, in case anyone's interested, my favorite Autobot is Ratchet, and my favorite humans are Miko and Fowler. How about you?
EDIT: Think I'll keep working on this. It's a bit weak
EDIT: Upped saturation to give it more life
