Excellent detail work on the scales!

And I don't recall seeing a marilith demon with a rattle on the end of her tail before. Interesting.

I especially like the little gila monster! Or whatever that lizard is.

Marillith FTW!

Grimtalon from Reaper Minis is a fairly large model. For $30, it’s a pretty good deal. I’m trying to figure a color scheme and I’m leaning towards red shoulder hawk.

Even now I still get intimidated by these big projects. But at least it’s not expensive.

I just did a griffon a week or so ago and trying to figure out the color scheme was the hardest part. It's still a work in progress because the white cowl and (primary I think) feathers came out too grey vs. white. The other feathers transition from a brown to a reddish tint brown that went okay.

It's actually a large-sized miniature, and I think it's supposed to be a large monitor lizard, like a Komodo dragon. The Marilith is quite large so the lizard, which is an average large looks small in comparison.

And then again, you describe Grimtalon, which probably has a 12" wingspan as "fairly large," so maybe our personal scales are different!

Here's mine. It's boring. I basically just did it like an eagle, and kind of screwed up the tail, but can't be arsed to repaint it. Base is nowhere near as cool as yours, either (that's a gargantuan base, for scale).
