I also started with it. But gave up. Skin texture is in 256*256. I wasnt shure if its worth a try.

You better ask HTC before starting because this bird was painted red only for one sortie.

68Strat,
you have the 'Bright' plug-in installed in Photoshop? If not here it is.

Go to 'tools'.
Bright tries to make the pic less pixel-like. Skin looks a bit smoother then. And maybe it helps against the changing colours.

Red and Black is a good combination, so maybe you a can make a number in black, or maybe Black outside White, like the German symbol, then it could match. And maybe add a little black here and there, to touch it up.
