Phicen / Jiaou ?

Option O: color a tbleague body with oil pastels.

I guess I will do that

Puh, if that works? But I think I will buy a Jiaou and if its not dark enough, try your option on him.

It works on the tbleague bodies at least:

Perfect! Should look more into the Tuturial part of this board.
Some very nice ideas in my head. Let's see what we can do in the next few month

Valiarde, the oil pastel (not the water-soluble ones!) method works pretty great with TBLeague. It also works on Jiaou, but Jiaou body surface can get easily scratched/ripped, resulting in unsightly "discoloration" effects, so I wouldn't recommend it as much. The real challenge is finding oil pastel that is close enough to the color you want, since they do not blend as easily or as completely as actual paints. If you're trying to make an African character, the selection of browns I have come across is rather limited, but you can probably still manage it -- see the painting seamless bodies thread Ovy linked (starting with Ephiane's discovery in post 16, with examples of my darker painted bodies in posts 39, 48, and 58).

Thanks guys! Will check it out for sure. Already on my way to far more kitbashing, so why not try some more rigorous approaches
