Make sure it's unscented, otherwise you might find yourself being used to dry people off after a ruckus...

... the statue was carved naked, so any clothes it's made to wear will be normal and not made of stone). The main problems with this are 1) I want to look like a statue and not just like an albino drow ...
You may get a more realistic look if you drop the idea of being a naked statue wearing regular clothes.
Take a look at http://www.michaelcarloneil.com/Jpegs/s-a-statue.jpg and http://www.rogerwendell.com/images/ecuador/quito_living_statue.jpg or do a Google search for 'Living statue' to see what difference this could make.
To get this type of effect, you need to apply paint to the costume. If you don't have the costume making skills then you can pick up cheap clothes at a charity shop, and then just splash on the paint.

| I will indeed be joining you for manly make-up, Nath - probably on my whole upper body, which makes me the manliest of all. I'm not too keen on the second living statue picture (I can't help but think of Hot Fuzz, sorry), but the first one is really good. I might change my mind later, but for the moment however I'm pretty fixed on the "naked statue" thing. People who subscribe to the "all people who play Beast-kin must be furries" school of thought may wish to base assumptions on this, but its part of the character concept. Yes, I used the phrase "character concept" to justify dressing up like a statue. Sometimes I really wish I was one of those people who like football.

Fair enough.
I'd made the assumption that the character concept was based on phys repping issues, rather than the other way around.
Good luck with it.
