PAINTING CLARKE - Part 2

I have been having quite a time settling on the paint scheme for Clarke. On my second attempt I began with a maroon base coat and planned to stay within the red colour range. My idea was to perhaps have the appearance of a body that has been skinned. Once again though, the final appearance became too dark for my liking. Clarke may have been human at one time and I want to make sure that comes through. Maybe attempt number three will be the charm. You can see this attempt from start to finish in the PREPRODUCTION tab.
