Looks like someone really enjoyed that Sonic Forces money.
Although, a quick note, one thing I didn't know that I've only just now realized is that yellow pigment REALLY SUCKS for actually covering anything. I had to put like... five layers of yellow just to get it to look right.
Still, despite the hardships it was a fun one to mess with, kind of a throwback to my first fatty model on this account.

Yellow and red pigments are the smallest size and fall through the other pigments, which is why they're so bad for covering other colors... next time put down a nice fat layer of white to prop those little pigments up and you won't have to work as hard :)
I love this piece... very cute :)

ah, since you mentioned troubles with pigmentation, is it possible to just hand-paint or spraypaint a 3D printed model, or is the material too porous or weak for something like that? I'd have thought that you could probably get a good effect by treating it like a scale model kit... so, sanding with like 600-1000 grain paper, puttying any gaps you find, hitting it with spray primer and then using modeling paints to do the figurine, but I'm not really sure how these are constructed, so. :V
Trust me, its easier than that.
If you use a filler primer (which I discovered that I have not despite swearing that I bought some) you can make it fairly smooth, and even then you'd just need to brush the paint on. The issue I was having was that the paint I was using, the yellow and orange, seemed to be fairly transparent, so I had to layer on multiple layers.
Next time, after I prime it, I'm gonna spray on a layer of white if I have to do another yellow/orange model.
