Still though your version of Pumba and twin did bring back some happy(ish) memories so thanks for that and it does remind me that I still need to add to my African menagerie.

When i dry brush it tends to look a bit chalky and fuzzy, like its a bit out of focus, and at high magnification i can sometimes see individual bristle strokes.

With regards to painting I had base coated the warthogs then applied some colour with the airbrush - they just happened to around when I was doing something else. I did try to 'paint' the skin, but just couldn't make it work and was getting more and more frustrated. In the end they were given a heavy wash of string tone and dry brushed. I picked out details like the tusks and fur around the skin and that was that.
