Thanks guys.
I actually havent seen those screencaps, id love for someone to post some links.
Ok, I am taking a chance here and made some changes. I found the details, after viewing shots of both the TMP and TNG klingons, and decided to do two things...
1) Reduce some of the detail, washing it out a bit. That way detail slips away at a distance.
2) Change the hue....yet again...dangerous, I know. I am still trying to find the right combination of hue, details and the like. I think I am getting close.
I washed in a few colors I noted on the TMP Ktinga, including some of the tans and darker hues. I still need to work it out a bit, get the right harmony here and there, but you get the idea sofar.
