This morning before going to work I made some first tries for the decals.

I expected to have to make some adjustements (with white paper, you always have to make paint adjustements to hide the white outlines and fix color matching, since it's difficult to find the exact paint tone), and it was a little worst than I thought

Maybe I didn't varnish the decal sheet enough, I don't know. But it's OK, it's easily fix-able with a little paint addition. The 2nd pic give a good idea of the final result and real color I did.

On the pics, you can see a figure I already fixed and another one I just posed the decals and need to fix tonight.

Last tip about making decals on white paper : if you have a scanner, brush a little paint on a paper sheet, the paint you used for the figures you want to decal.

Then, scan it. On the file you obtain, with the graphics software tool (in french "pipette", I don't know the name in english...it's the tool used to pick the color code of something), pick the color and note the RGB code (or save it if you work in CMYK).

Then, when you make your decal background, use the color you picked. It's the best way I found to make decent colors matchings. You can see on the figure that the result is not too bad

Great It will be a way easier to make custom decals, on clear decal paper. So you will not have to make fixes like I do. If you need any advice, I'll help you, just ask.

For the font, I'll see what I used (can't remember the exact name). For what I know, they are not perfectly accurate for that team. The real team fonts are pure sans serif ones, these ones' got some serif on several numbers (like "7").


Thanks for the comments, guys

For the faces, I had that idea seeing LEGO figures. 2 eyes, one mouth, and really expressive finally. Same concept used here (flat faces, face basic face painting : eyes, nose, mouth).

To draw that details I used some ink darker than the skin tone but similar.
