hmmm...
I'd start with snakebite leather, then highlight it with snakebite + bronzed flesh, later with bronzed flesh, after this bronzed + some orange and finally orange;
and watered down wash (brown? flesh?) when the paints will dry totally

Weird...I always figured him more of the black tight leather person!

But his advice is spot on I think.

well, once I've almost bought black metal tight leather trousers but then I thought it would be totally hypocritic behaviour: not eating meat as vegetarian but wearing leather clothes...

but hey! latex is also cool and more important: syntetic material...

tbh. I think this leather type cries for BEstial Brown. Snakebite is a bit to golden/yellow if you ask me. micght want to do the shadows either with black or - i believe - better with schorched brown and the highlights with ...hm... good question. I'd try A LITTLE Bleached Bone.

On the picture it looks a bit orange too, but I believe that'S just the picture...
