The idea was to make it look like the painting. It's not finished but I just wanted to know what you guys think of this one.

Nice natural choice of colors and good faithful reproduction of the multicolor scales. The eyes and eye-contour look like they still could use a touch of gloss..

That looks great. It really pushes the texture of the sculpt. A little plane would be rad, kinda like the gamagon has.

awesome, very subtle change, but I like it way more than the production piece. He needs a Micro machines plane accessory for sure

Wow thanks! I'm really happy you like it. Means a lot.
I'm really interested by any suggestions for the micro plane so feel free if you know what can fit.
The Gamagon's plane like Animator noticed would be perfect but I don't have one.
Anyway thanks again, I'll put more pics very soon.

It would be so cool if you could modify the greasebat to be like those monkeys that clap the cymbals together, except with a plane in each hand :D

No doubt ! especially if they made sparks everytime they clanged together.

Hey Kist, maybe you can get one of your very close artist friends to make a little plush jet with a hand-strap that you could just strap on to greasebats hand.

Really nice custom. Great job.

For the plane, you might want to track down one of these and repaint it:

It's a Micro Machines F-86 Sabre. There are a few up on ebay right now.

Thanks guys! Lots of good vibes here, I think I'll go for the micro machine option.
The monkey clap idea is genius, someone should do that. :D
The plush idea can be fun, I'll ask my girlfriend about that, she makes plushes everyday but I think it will be hard to make a micro shape like that.
Thanks again.

Touch of gloss more, next step find and customize a micro machine.

micro machine planes, great idea. I never thought of that, scale looks about right too.
