Well sinced I finished painting him today and still got some time before I go to bed, I took a couple of shots of the finished model. I'm pretty happy with the final results. Its quite close to what I had in mind. I did a small experiment with this model. I used some glazing medium(Vallejo), mixed with flat base (Tamiya) and water in the ration 4:2:4. Its my own mix which I used to water down my paints.
Basically, the glaze medium shouldn't be used this way but rather used on its own to thin paints w/o using water. My idea of this mix is to have something that would extend the drying time of my paints, at the same time holds the pigments together and finish matt.
In the past, my paintjobs tend to finish glossy before adding a matt sealant. This is because I used alot of thin glazes and the continuous brush strokes tend to have a polishing effect on the surface. This result in a slightly glossy finish. After using the mix, this problem seems to be eliminated.
Updated with a new photo. You might notice a slight change in his skintone. I feel it looks freakier this way. More angles of him in my gallery.
