Decisions, decisions...I eventually decided to go with my favorite complementary color scheme: blue and orange.
I started by laying down the colors, acrylic pthalo blue and yellow ocre and sprinkling the glitter on top, I used a mix of Sandstone and Sunstruck Gold and over the blue paint I used Blue Bird, Jagged Cobalt and Vakarian Blue.
In the beginning I thought I would work in small sections, but as I progressed I was finding that the plaster was absorbing the paint too fast and it was creating a patchwork effect. So I decided to paint the entire surface first to remedy it's porousness.

Here it is all painted, with a bit of glitter.
More glitter on the body and Storybook Brown for the eyes.
With the horn inserted (I used Apollos Chariot) and highlights of Icy Blast on the main.
This was a super fun project...gotta say, I'm happy with the outcome.
