Crisis #3 was the inside of the cape.
1st try: Simply blending White+Pink - Pink - Violet.
The cape became too dark, there were some "oakum" (if this is the right word) got into the paint/onto the figure and the transitions were horrible:

2nd try: Pink basecoat (5 layers!)
The cape became too saturated and too shiny, it was impossible to paint Violet shades on that shiny surface.
Furthermore the paint got too thick, removed everything w/ some spirit
3rd try: Pink + white Basecoat, Violet shades
Not too saturated, somewhat brighter, but more matte, so it could be worked with, but took a very long time:

Needs some work behind his back, thou.
By the way, is there a good SBS for painting transitions on a big, plain area?
And I do not mean Ben Komets' style "this should be done in this way in 3 seconds" like it was done on "The Gang" dog, but something which covers the errors, and helps us how to fix them, too.
