Interesting! The paint supplies a dimension of creamy smoothness that contrasts nicely with the hard lines and block colors you generally employ! It breathes pleasing life into the characters' faces, which take on depth and added expressiveness. The uniforms benefit, too: the blend of camouflage greens in Koshka's jacket assume a realistic subtlty. And that stucco-pattern background, so warm and richly cloistering, is indeed most suggestive of Scavenger! A wildly successful experiment! This approach would do wonders for one of your forest settings!
