Here are a bunch of mug shots. Pretty damned ugly, isn't he?
He looks like a bright orange because I just scrubbed his face with dishwashing detergent--and it hasn't dried yet.After the first light wash of grey primer

I only hope to do the movie justice. I hope that the outfit outshines the bad paint job. Still hideous I'm afraid...
Getting there... I also noticed that his helmet still wasn't quite right. I added some more to the back of the helmet so it actually surrounded a good portion of his head and not just the top part (like a bicycle safety helmet)... This is composed of 3 different scultping mediums: Sculpey mold maker, Sculpey Bake Clay, and Fimo Bake Clay. When it's off of his head, the weight of the helmet makes it stand upsidedown on a flat surface and it reminds me of a badminton birdie. A pretty whacked one at that.
Hopefully the wild bling of the outfit will camouflage the paint job. What do magicians call it? Smokes and mirrors? Hee hee...Not half bad for a start. It can still be adjusted by some tweaking. Now I need some honest opinions. What can I do to improve this? OK...need better brushes firstly and secondly need to stop using 3D paint! And...will darken his face a bit. Thanks for the input everyone!!
On a very good note, his eyeballs at least are pointing in the same direction!! Yay me!!
