My design includes three chakra on the back of my character and I though to make them as silicone flat pieces to have them on 3D.
I pre-colored the first one I made with the only green silicon paint I had, which is supposed to be used to create creatures so it wasn't a really vivid green, however it only served as a base. I then though to go over it with some skin illustrator but I wasn't very happy with it so I decided to use acrilic and then spray some paint fixant on top of it, as otherwise the paint would just look damaged after a while. I waited the day of my assessment to paint them so that they could last longer just in case. I did not pre-colored the other two as acrilic paint itself is already quite a good coverage.
In addition to the silicon chackra I made other 3 flat pieces, one raffiguring a plant. I attached real ivy leafs on the flat pieces with some super glue because I wasn't very happy with the fake one I saw on the shops. I waited until the day before to attach them so they could still look nice and alive.. Ivy is quite resistant and the leafs don't dry as quick ( it take them almost a week to change color after being cut )so it has not been a problem to preserved them well.
The other two flat pieces I made are raffiguring skin taking the shape of a bark, and I included some seeds as decoration. I pre-colored all of those 3 flat pieces with my character paints, ( brown and green ). The plant one aim to be attached on the right thigh, and the other two flat pieces : 1 on the left arm and one on the right back leg.
