thanks! make sure when you cut the tattoo down you trim it right to the edges and leave as little clear as possible. i ended up getting crinkles because i had too much material so i hit it with a hair dryer to shrink up the clear sections to make it form to the muscle better. then i used dullcote liberally instead of water and shaped it with the tip of my finger into the muscle crevices. once the dullcote got a tad tacky i smoothed out any lifts or air bubbles. lastly i applied another coat of dullcote to make the edges of the decal disappear after it dried and looked uniform. luckily my techniques from vinyl wrapping gave me the idea of using the hair dryer to get rid of the excess waviness. kinda shrunk it up you know? for some reason i have a nack for not screwing up/fixing stuff.
looks pretty nice so far. the light brown would only look good for old big boss, if you dont have a sculpt i wouldnt bother. definitely make it dark brown.
