The 1:12 Jozin bust goes for an unconventional, thoroughly fantastical subject and leaves the painter a free hand in the color treatment.
Responsibility details are not available.
A short, easily remembered name hints that this is not a historical figure but a character from a world of fantasy. Pieces like this tend to be popular among painters, because nobody argues about the correct shade of a uniform. The color treatment is purely a matter for whoever holds the brush.
With beings outside the human register it works well to move away from realistic skin tones. Greenish, gray-blue or, on the contrary, pushed warm shades all work, provided one chosen logic of lighting is kept. It pays to decide in advance where the light falls on the figure from and to subordinate the placement of all the highlights and shadows to that; otherwise the result looks flat, even when every detail is painted carefully.
Before painting, feel along the edges and the joints, because that is where unevenness most often shows, which the primer will then emphasize further. Keep the primer coat thin; a heavy layer fills the fine grooves and the piece loses its crispness. Textures such as scales, warts or rough skin will come out beautifully after a light pass of a dry brush with a lighter shade.
A contrasting base will help set the unconventional coloring of the figure apart from the background of the shelf.
