Not that I'm biased at all* but I think you should just paint them whatever colour you want..... If it's 'wrong' simply buy another set and have another go. Repeat ad infinitum until everyone agrees they are right  ;)
All right, yes, I'm completely biased 8)

I'm sorry to say this but using black and white trick photography to hide the brilliant red colour you painted these traditional Lion Dogs is not really on.



These buggers have been sat staring at me for the best part of a week now, I know they are thinking "Come on make your mind up, go realistic or go comic but just GO"

Just a quick thanks for the help I got from everyone.
Cheers

These 2 at Tamaki Shrine (I think) seem to have been once painted red:



And there's this one from Tsutsukowake Shrine:

Too much, navel gazing John. I would put a brown ink wash on them, weather them out with lighter reds and light greys like some of the pics the Osmoses has shown, finish the base, and call it a day. You need to get on the stick and amuse me with some more AARs lol lol

Osmosis thanks for the pictures, I appreciate you taking the time.

Lon do you know what, I think I'll just put a wash on, weather it a bit and finish the base and call it a day.

Bye the way my games are deadly serious, they're not supposed to be a source of fun.


Pleased you're enjoying them. :D
