Thanks to Leatheroo's post I learned how to airbrush pearlescent powder. Gives it that beetle-like sheen, don't you think?

Dang Tom,

That's pushing the edge a little further on out there isn't it? Nice work, especially on the coloring.

Thats some crazy stuff. Will look especially good when the wearer wears the same eyeshadow as the purple spots!!!

Ha ha! That is a great idea. I'll have to suggest it to whoever ends up with it.

Tom, this is sooo great, you seem to find very original designs, the coloring is really great, just watch out, those pearl and luminencent paints are sooo addictive. I often paint in a flat color and think to myself, it just needs a little bling, and soon the flat colors are all painted over!! Love the legs, they are so cute.

Neat looking mask! I like the coloring, but mostly the way you've done the cutout around the eyes and most of all, the beetle itself. It looks way cool!
