Need advice on this custom 'Nok bike

Here is a bike I am working on for Zartan perhaps. But I am not sure how exactly to proceed from here.

I'd love any comments and advice on it.

What else should I do to it?
I definitely needs something more detail wise, I am just not sure what.

I want to add more details but I dont want to over do it though so that it detracts or destracts from the snake eyes and fangs.
I am thinking of putting a snake pupil on the headlight as well.

Should I use a gold chrome color on it for the chrome work? Leave it black?
Should I put more details like "decal" work on it? There are definitiely places on the bike that it could go, but again, not sure if it will distract too much from the snake.

Well, lmk what you guys think...

(PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE W.I.P. PICTURES)







Side car i went with more of an alien look.
I know the paint here is a bit sloppy still. Just remember, WIP. Not finished.

Man, I love the teeth on the sidecar, very nice.
I like the black, if I was you, I wouldn't go too crazy with colors, but a little chrome paint on the chrome parts would be nice.
Can't wait to see it finished.

yeah i wouldn't get too crazy with it, they are the dreadnoks after all. chrome maybe some primer on spots or something like that. make it look used.

I don't know how realistic a look it is you're going for, but some chrome or alternatively, gunmetal, paint on the engine and the exhaust pipes would probably be a good thing... make it look less "toy-like."

Dreadnoks love weapons. Maybe add a gun on the side car. I think you should add some crome. Looks nice.

There will be guns. One on the side of the side car and one turret in the side car.

Wow... Nice concept...!

What I would suggest to add highlights is just minimal "gun metal" paint on some of the engine parts, and the muffler, maybe even the brakes / clutch levers... But that's about it... not too much... Drybrushing the above parts would work best, I think...

Ideas:

the sides where the "holes" are, attach a chainsaw!

for inspiration, especially for dreadknocks, I would refer to Mad Maxx movie for their crazy ideas.

looking good, keep us updated

Like other's posted, that engine needs some silver/chrome paint. I like the idea of some patchwork done to it, but if this is for Zartan, you gotta make it look brand new. In the comic he always had the best bike while the other Noks had repaired ones. Maybe a little bit of green tribal or flames behind the symbol on the tank? Nothing too big or flashy, just a little detail that's all

I'd paint the wheels up a bit; add some silver dusting to the brakes and such. But I like the color and would leave it just as simple as you can.
