Nova said she is keeping the color she has, I will only do touchups if needbe but her color is the way she wants it.....for now anyway, ( with Nova at one time, My first attempt she was painted with an acrylic all one color that did not work, flaked and took forever to get off, iN FACT there are still some hidden little flakes I occasionaly come across, very annoying.
) My next project is all depending on the final vote results of the color Poll that has about one week to go!
I am at this point looking at a more solid color with just color contrast, not all these speckles somthing more different, but I can't say what it is yet or it would be letting the cat ( Pleo) out of the bag.I have thus far only used old, paint worn or ones with lots of wear to use as models. I do have some great condition, New Pleos, but there are too many older model Ugobes out there screaming at me for a makeover...so that is where I am going with that. It does no good though to use one that has such bad skin that the paint will not adhere and or take the risk of making the skin worse. The skin has to be firm and moist enough, ( not too dried out) for the paint to work.
Red does seem to be popular and I have a certain dinosaur painting /model illustrations I have seen in a book that would be a good model for the right color, Getting that color may be the tricky part. I also have seen some great blue/greys lavender and green shades with nice contrast too. Everyone has to wait as I do to see what happends. It may just be a surprise for me as well!
