The main inspiration for the color scheme I found by searching online for coloured pictures of Jabberwockies, in a painting from William Stout.
Then I remembered a video from Marco Frisoni, where he painted a dragon, and more or less copied that approach. Basically, you start with a violet basecoat, then go around the color wheel in one direction (red -> yellow) for one major color on the model, then the other direction for the second major color (blue -> green) to build up the colour progressions.
The hands and feet are too yellow, and will be tuned down a bit more towards orange as in the inspiration picture in the next step. The hairy bits and most of the skin got a fairly neutral greyish color. Their final look will be determined when I am done with the main color parts. The hair might just stay dark grey/black, or perhaps turn towards the red from the reference picture. The skin will stay fairly light, but might get tinted towards a colour.
What really itches me at this point, in the pictures I discovered mold lines I missed in real life. But removing them now means I will have to repeat all the airbrushing in these places, with the risk of overspraying others…
