Thanks. I wanted to step up my game for the final round, so I abandoned my usual Foundry Flesh triad and took a leaf from Michi's book and used a mix of Vallejo Game Color Beasty Brown and Skull White (as seen on Michi's excellent Stone Age ladies here):

I was happy with the end result, but the VGC white inexplicably smelled of Vicks Vap-o-Rub, which was a bit distracting... ::)

See, there's a reason that he gets to marry the most beautiful woman in the solar system...! ;)

I own a set of the nudie TinMan Barsoomians, and I don't have a problem with them (they're actually more faithful to Edgar Rice Burroughs). I just didn't want the "Ooh! Nudity!" ;D reaction to get in the way of the quality of the painting for the contest. I may get around to doing the nudie set as a separate project instead.
