looking good so far Carl,
there are so many variations in body paint, it would be difficult to see the same design twice.
Nicely handled, so far.
Cheers

Carl, do you already know this feature:
http://www.coolminiornot.com/go.php/go/articlephp/aid/310?
It's about acrylics, but gives some generally useful references.
Nice looking sculpt by the way. IMHO the skintone is slightly on the dark side, but this is maybe solved by the oils drying and/or some more highlights?
Keep us posted!
Cheers,
Adrian

Thanks for the excellent article Adrian, I've increased the highlights now. I'll post later.
Thanks again,
Carl.

Looking good Carl.
I think you've got a real challenge on yourhands here so well done you.
Once the oils dry I think the highlighting will be the real make or break, no hiding place on black skin at this scale.

Hi Carl,
I think the skin tones look spot on. Obviously the skin is a bit too glossy at this stage, but Iknow you'll sort that out. The hair and beard will also have white paint in them, so don't forget that the paint is applied by hand, so it will be applied in smears and using fingers.

Carl you never seem to amaze me with your diverse range of figure mate, this one caught my attention straight away as currently i am reading the book `Wisdom Man- Banjo Clarke` which tells the story of an aboriginal man and his life.
I like the deep colour you have chosen for the skin tone, i think maybe you could push the highlights more as they will lessen once the oils dry, bit more on the eyebrows,nose ridge and tip and top of cheeks. Looks like its going to be a very nice piece once done mate.
