I did do enough research to make sure I got the right KD fig guys...
Anyways, here is an update on the banner. There is more red on the skin in real life. This picture has some glare too. I have a feeling this project is going to be tough to photo :/
Painting the banner is challenging, because of how small it is, but some parts are easier than a 3D painting, I guess because you don't have to look at the gradients from different angles or worry about flowing paint into crevices or whatever.
