Paintinja,
the gods willing, you shall.... even if I have to drive crosscountry to do it
(am nutty enuf to do it too
)
I've got an update, it was nice and sunny this weekend for a change (errgh, the three days before were misty and rainy) so I started the larger paint job... the skin...
(yeh, I chickened out (bawk, bawk, baaaaawk) and didn't latex it)
Here's the sequence of the paintup, all the paints are Createx Transparent Airbrush paints, that are heat-settable.
I didn't dilute them this time, I wanted the colors to show thru the mesh better
Sand base color, Light Brown stripes, back view It took 12 ounces total of the Sand
front view
Dark Brown added, plus LOTSA DOTS, front view
Back view
Added orange to match the mask, back view

I finished up just as it was getting dusk, now I have to let it dry for 48 hours, then peel it off and heat set it.
(To do this, you turn it inside out, stuff it loosely with terry towels from Home Depot, then put another terry towel over the spot to be treated, then iron it for two minutes.
Move on to the next spot and repeat till you've done the WHOOOOLE thing.... )
While its drying I will experiment on a scrap piece of material (sleeves are too long and need trimming) to see if I can figure a way of adding texture
