Yephima, Cloud Giant painted as Storm Giant (Bones) (77162)

[Chris Palmer 14574]

  Over the weekend I finished up Yephima, Female Cloud Giant, from the Bones 1 Kickstarter Storm Giants set.  So, she is listed in the Reaper online store as a Cloud Giant,  but in the Kickstarter she was part of the Storm Giant set; so I debated which direction to go with her, and decided to go with the Storm Giant look.  Next, I looked up the description of Storm Giants in my old D & D Monster Manual, and found out they can have violet skin and can have blue-black hair.  Sounded like a nice painting challenge to me!

    Well, the purple skin and silver-grey eyes take some getting use to, but otherwise I'm quite happy how she turned out.  :)   

 

Just two figures left to paint in my Bones 1 Kickstarter Paint and Post blogging challenge!

Awesome, thanks!! I'll definitely give it a try.

 

Edit: Is the gloss varnish absolutely essential at the end? I only have mat varnish.

No, I don't think it's absolutely necessary. I like it as it adds an extra bit of shine.

 

You don't need anything fancy, I use Americana Gloss Varnish from the local craft store.

A nice new take on her skin tones. I like seeing options.

Looks great! The purple was a bold move. It turned out well. Great contrasts.

Thanks, Sharkbelly! Having the opportunity to take risks like this is one of the things I like about the Bones figures in general, and the Bones Kickstarters in particular!

Very clever and interesting, she turned out rather different but very beautiful!
