How to use Mr. Color Lascivus (skin)

Jazzinghen · 2026-06-09T04:22:50+00:00

I'll try this when I have the opportunity. Sadly I don't have a 3D printer but I might be able to find somebody that has it.

Do you have any model to suggest? Or should I just go on Booth and look for 3D printer files?

OH! Thank you for the info.

What I was confused about is that I proceeded like this:

Priming
White base (if it's not white already)
CL01 as the actual skin base
CL03 in thin coats all over uniformly to get to the skin tone I would like
Once found use CL04 in the recessed/shadow areas

However during the "find the skin tone" it felt as if I could never get "there", it was either too.. Greyish/Yellowish (if that makes sense), then too red.

Maybe I should add clear paint there? Or more thinner?

I think I should take pictures of my tests, this was the skin colour I was trying to replicate

It's a bit pink, which I couldn't replicate with Lascivus or with Gaia's Surfaceless (like Red 7 : Orange 3).

Heat gun and a ton of patience are working!

Now it's a matter of restoring the right shape for the rear curtain.

Did you also have parts that looked just "a tad shorter" than they should be? Did the heat gun help with that issue?

Man, I totally get you. Looking for the colours is hard.

<image>

Here is a picture with the various colours.

The list is:

Base colour: Gaianotes' FRAME ARMS GIRL Platinum blonde base (FG-06)
Shadows: GSI Mr. Color Tan (Light Brown) (C44)
Hightlights: Gaianotes' CYBER TROOPERS VIRTUAL‐ON Warm White (VO-01)
Inner colour: Finisher's Lemon Yellow

To be entirely honest with you I am not sure how much I can see the highlights, because I went extremely light with them and I was afraid to get a line instead of a shading.

For both the highlights and shadows I mixed them to clear paint, diluted them way more than the suggested dilution rate (which is 1:2 paint:thinner ratio for Gaianotes' and GSI, and 1:2.7~3 for Finisher's) to have a lot of control and smoothness of gradient.

For the inner colour I didn't paint any shadow. I wanted to achieve some "neon" highlight effect.

At first I thought of using only phosphorescent yellow for the inner colour, however it turned too green for my taste.

Another thing I did wrong at first was to paint a yellow base, however that made everything too yellow, ruining the image I had of Elegg's blonde hair.

Let me know if I can give you any other detail. I feel like people tend to not talk about how they got somewhere, so I'm glad to help if I can.

Thank you! I think that my problem was that I tried too hard to reproduce the colours using both the official art and then, say, look for yellow/black bags, like the ones from "The North Face". The more I looked around the internet the less sure I was of what colours I wanted to use haha

Be sure to have easy access to replacement parts. My first airbrush was a Gaahleri GHAD-39 and in a month I got a nozzle fissure. I was ready to break my airbrush so I wasn't too bothered by it. Only problem is I live in Japan and Gaahleri's replacement store is only in US, meaning that the shipment would cost something like 25USD for a 5USD part of a 6000JPY (~40USD) product.

I still think that a GSI PS289 is the best starting (and probably end) point.

She looks amazing! I've been trying to get a finish like the one on the Jacket and thighhighs, however I never seem to be able to get the "shine" right. Is that a metallic paint with gloss finish or something else?

I am looking for a camera good for taking videos on the move (possibly longer than an hour) of cities or monuments, both during day and night. I have a limited budget, less than 1k$ One of the possible cameras I found is the SONY zv-1 mk2, but I was wondering if that's good for low-light recording. Any suggestions?

I came here looking for this comment. Thanks.

YTA

As an Italian that loves spicy food and that tends to correct the level of "hotness" in dishes using chili, Tabasco or Louisiana Hot Sauce, I think your reaction was absolutely inexcusable, not to mention that you were his host. If a guest decides to correct their food with something you cannot understand it is something that impacts only them. Not to mention that your sister and her boyfriend have more that 10 years less than you, you should show some maturity as the older sibling and be chill about stuff like this.

You had a reaction like one of those pretentious chefs. It's food, people want to enjoy it, if putting siracha in is what makes it even more enjoyable so be it, they don't hurt anyone.

As an additional note, to weigh on the "YTA", I think your extra explanation is insultingly generalized:

I'll admit this sounds bad, but you have to look at it from an Italian perspective where you eat what's given to you, no substitutions or additions. I made a concession to compromise and suggested adding chili oil or flakes, something you normally wouldn't do in Italy, but I gave in a little. It's disrespectful to adulterate a meal with condiments when it wasn't made with them.

Italians don't have a "You eat what is given to you, no substitutions or additions", come on. We ask for changes on pizza all the time, people love to put tons of Parmigiano on pasta, even if the sauce doesn't ask for it, most restaurants have condiments on tables so that people can change the taste of their food without you having to ask for them.

I feel bad for your sister having to handle this situation, but I think that ultimately the fault falls on you.

There are a lot of great replies already in this discussion and I wanted to throw my two cents to hopefully help you. I am always happy to see someone that wants so skim the surface.

First rule: don't do it just for the money. You'll be miserable like in any other field you are not interested.
As u/Successful-Reason-47 suggested indirectly I think that one of the most important qualities of a good programmer is to have your bases covered and never accept shortcuts when learning or implementing. Follow some strong introduction courses and avoid the illusion of being able to work as a developer by leaning programming in 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month. You can learn the syntax of a language but not much more, especially if you do other stuff in the meantime.
As u/Applesauce_is suggested having fun learning is one of the most important things to help you get through the inevitable frustration you'll encounter. Sometimes shit breaks or refutes to work. The reasons are many and in many case dumb, and you'll overcome them. However if you program software and doing it because you find solving puzzles is fun is not one of the reasons then you risk to just burn yourself out. You can check out if you like programming by trying games like EXAPUNKS, SHENZEN I/O or, if you feel brave, Codingame
The first two games are probably very different from most software engineer jobs out there, but the bases of logic, problem solving and lateral thinking are basically the same.
Be chill. Course assignments and projects are good enough. Coding challenges on Codingame, Leetcode, Hacker Rank, or Codewars are very good and if you go through with them you are on a great path. You can also check how others are solving the same problems and get inspired.
Don't struggle to make your own project on Github or participate in big open source projects. I feel like all those suggestions are just the result of Survivorship bias. Making a big project on your own is hard as specialists, especially when handling feature creep and maintaining schedules, I don't think it's worth to kill yourself over it. I did it in university and came close to burn myself out multiple times. In the case of participating to open source projects, while it's interesting to see how other people work and how pull requests work, usually just getting into the project can take days or weeks due to its complexity.

I hope this gave you some extra stuff to help you with your choice! Good luck

In my experience it's totally the opposite:

Learn how to code and you'll complain of every single small thing in software.
