I have more pics, but the site must be limiting me or something. Just another side profile and something showing it from an above angle. Worked on this today and yesterday and wasn't very fond of the method with which to apply the candy apple red. I genuinely don't like working with contrast paints. But, as far as I know, there're not metallic reds that look right on the market, so I have to suffer with it. Also not fond of the white loin cloths, so I went with blue this time. I think it worked out quite nicely. Aside from a couple minor mistakes, I think it looks pretty good. Lemme know what you folks think.
I'm also just realizing how awful the color on my laptop's monitor is. The colors are so washed out. I should calibrate it.
If you want candy apple red metallics try mixing your contrast paint with silver. Even better if you have silver ink. A little bit of yellow or orange can brighten up the red if it's too dark.
