Customizing: Chakotay is finished

[dieastra]

He's done! I feel very accomplished today. I think I have outdone myself, even if I say so myself. What do you think? Does that look like Chakotay or what? *beams*

I had quite a struggle trying to mix the right skin tone, it always came out too brown and dark. And don't ask me about the tattoo! The black pen I wanted to use for it had dried up but I did not fancy waiting another day and buy a new one... then I realized, the pens for labeling CDs are waterproof as well.

He looks fantastic! Great job on the skin tone. I know what you mean - it's really hard because the color it is not the color you think it is. You think a person looks dark or more pink, and you end up making him too dark or pink. When I used to paint miniatures for gaming, I dreaded doing skin.

And the tattoo looks great!

Very, VERY nicely done! You have every right to feel accomplished.

You know, there is money in doing this. You could take custom orders. I know of several people who have turned their fandom hobbies into side businesses.

Bravo!
