He did say 1st batches are typically around 100-200 figures and go to influencers and VIP buyers in China.

Nice! I ordered Aragorn within the first few days the preorder went up, so hopefully I get him by early fall.

What I’ll do with them all, I can’t yet say.

So I got the pencil to fix my Gandalf nose paint issue, but… uhh… I’m not sure.
Does this color seem right for flesh, or am I paranoid? Or is InArt gaslighting me?

Seems awful dark
I'm sorry man but I'm laughing hard right now. That's a troll move. Lol! You're telling me that's how Inart touches the paint on headsculpts? With watercolor pencils?
I wonder if Inart will send me a lighter and a stencil guide so I can heat up the ring and imprint the markings myself.

Looks like they want you to hide the blemish by giving Gandalf sunburn.
Theres no way this is a legit fix.

Yeah, seems super dark. When kit said they offered a pencil, I was thinking maybe some kind of make up pencil or something. But this is just silly lol. I don’t think I can even be mad at it.
Try it on your own face first.

I know this is way too much work, but what I've seen other painters do is use a blade to scrape off shavings of the "lead" and get it into a powder, and then use a brush, like a make-up brush, to apply it.
Usually the skintone color/effect is achieved with powdered pigments, like pastels, and it really is applied like make-up. Not like mixing up paint to get a skintone color.
It's either that or you're supposed to use that pencil to 'dab' on the age spots. Otherwise, I'm not sure what they expect you to do with it.
Cruel.

Let me bust out my 1/6 mortar and pestle to get some red powder going.
Thank for the insight though, I’ll look more into this this weekend and see if I can accomplish a fix. It’s a good start.

Just get some flakes in a paper towel, like the cheap kind that are more paper than cloth, the brown kind, or something similar, maybe brown paper lunch bag, whatever you've got around. And you can just sort of 'grind' it in the paper, between your fingers, that should break it up enough to become a powder.
Heck, you never know, this could be how you learn to become a painter, then after a year of practice, you can start charging people $500 to paint a headsculpt. Think of how many figures you could buy!!!

OMG HILARIOUS!!!
They've gotta be joking right?
Only thing I could think of is taking some of the pencil lead and grounding it down with a bit of water. This is a joke though ridiculous!
