looks good, yeah gloss is a bit wet/plasticy looking in places, what reference are you using? Im assuming crododiles? which can look surpisingly dry and have very little specular response.



there is some shine to them though so yeah its a bit tricky



perhaps a more natural looking lighting setup would help too?

his environment is a wet ( swamp) so wanna get some kind of wetness in him. so gloss bit whiter?
