Well I have all the cracks repaired, he's primed, so now I will try to capture the Jeepers Creepers 2 version, which is very dark, with light grayish greens mottled in, and very wet looking at the end, (I read that Future floor polish is good for this??)

I am using acrylic paints from Createx, Liquitex, windsor newton, what ever's in my grab bag. You can see the cracks and repair pics if interested in the sculpting thread, here's pics from primer to present:

I actually did more work to him here and re primered.

Here is a base coat of grayish green with lighter highlights,

Next I applied a darker value of the same colors to the wrinkles, folds, and lower areas of the sculpt,

This is my first time using an airbrush so I am still shaky with the double action control but I love it!

This skin tone will be challenging this is what I am going for ans I am off by more than a few degrees..

But hopefully I'll at least get close.

Any comments, suggestions, critiques, or plain HELP! would be greatly appreciated!! thanks guys.
