I love the sculpture and I'm not a big fan of the official painting. That's why I bought the melanistic one   

Your's will be great without doubt.   About the spot, I guess you will need to taste the two solutions... The choice of colour depends greatly from the coat you already painted. Fortunately, leopards have two side   

It looks fantastic whith the new spots   
Amazing what it does to the model, it is like it is a whole new and better sculpt   

Such a huge work you are doing, I am enormously impressed    

Nando, it is impressive already! Of course the original pattern of this leopard doesn't give justice to the excelent sculpt, not even the newer and improved version. I usually don't need a good paintwork to judge a sculpt once I have unpainted figures in my collection. But you're going so far in your job that I am really impressed. It is looking excelent and I want one!
I think other markings are very important but if you mean the color of inner part of the rosets, honestly, I won't paint it and let it with the base color. It depends of the subspecies you want to paint, some of them don't have a different color inside of the rosets. Though, I am not sure it is what you mean. For facial you also can find some variation and I would choose the less contrasting.
Curiously, the newer painting of the leopard has heavily painted rosets. I am eager to see it finished, although I already like it very much.

WOW. It's a fabulous work. I love it. However, it's damage that this varnish shines but it looks absolutely nice.    

Very nice already!

excellent work, Nando! looks great.

Great painting..good job.. thats why i love nando..

Great job!! It looks so much better now I think the orange color would look nice :3
Can't wait to see him finished and looking at us with beautiful eyes      

Spot on!

(Oh come on, someone had to say it)   

What a daunting task it must be to paint spots on a leopard or jaguar.
I'm very impressed.
I think whatever colour you choose for the inside spots will automaticly give you an answer on what to do with the face.
Go with whatever makes you happy.

Nice job Nando!   

Great Job

Yes, I noticed that and the effect worked perfectly! The large number of rosets and spots help giving a realistic appearance to the figure. Congrats again for your work, I wished I could do that.
