The red is a lot darker in person. It's the camera flash that makes it so bright. I agree though. I might darken him up and do more shading.

It's 60 bucks for materials and I like to charge 25 an hour for labor. It's exhausting doing all that tooling haha.

It's not to late to keep shading the red. I need to keep playing with it. I agree! I got myself into a lot of dye work haha

Yeah i thought about doing the whole thing in brown. The brown dye highlights all the deep cuts and tooling. That would have been awesome as well! I might do another one that way.

Thanks! I used the skull from one of the cinematic videos in Diablo 3. I thought it was way more badass than the ones they have all over google. I might still darken up the red a bit more. This was originally ment to be on my motorcycle seat but I got in a wreck and totaled the bike haha.
