Well, Im 1h20 in and am caling it a day as I have to go to the pub for my friends birthday. I shall resume after work tomorrow and use up my 2h40, though I am starting to see failure on the horizon, I either overestimated myself or underestimated the slightly bigger model I chose, thinking that the large smooth areas of skin would be easy to adapt to few colours. This is true, but they are proving far more time costly than i reckoned lol. I shall persevere though, as its been fun so far and its been good motivation to paint again as lately Ive been so busy and distracted by other things Ive hardly found time to get any done. The nice little deadline and time frame in this have really helped me allocate a space and made me crack on with it

I'm in. Prepped my model today, and will paint it tomorrow. I've been playing around with colors to see what can be mixed. This will be an interesting experience.
