The facial details are getting easier to get to a 'looking ok' stage. In the 'main' picture the face looks a bit yellow, but it seems better in person. I may need to figure out some different flesh tone paints as I've been using some fairly old (6-7 years old maybe) Vallejo skin tones and getting any sort of smooth semi-transparent consistency has been challenging.
It was only after I started down the 'blue jeans' path that I noticed that in the box art the pants are much more gray than blue. The YouTube videos I watched used blue so that is how I got it in my head. Rather than try to start over, I just darkened the blue down quite a lot and it will have to be 'close enough'. The zenithal prime wouldn't have been useable if I tried to repaint and the blue didn't look terrible...it just doesn't match as closely to the artwork.
