Madagaskar Day Gecko

Gecko skin isn't quite scaly like that. The scales are kind of bead-like, with clear spaces between them where you can see the underlying skin (medium tone-grey brown color). They're also much more pronounced and a fair bit larger.

Also, while you've got some minimal defintion in the underlying musculature, it's not enough, resulting in a fairly cartoon-like look to it. If that's what you're going for, then nevermind.

Thanks for that yeh I have found a new reference photo so will try to replicate this 'bead like' texture you are talking about. Also the reference has a bit more colour variation so I am thinking that would look pretty cool also. just need to find some spare time! :P
