Where do I go from here?

Excellent work Gary,  On some of your other work I noticed you used a snapping turtle hide, I managed to get one, I see you died it black and died the high scales red 

Excellent contrast, how did you pull that off?  Did you use resist on the scales?

in what order did you use? 

Airbrushed it with oxblood, pro resist, antiqued it, seal it up with satin finish. I pro resist only before antique and seal with the satin sheen to knock down the shine of the resist.
