I'd asked for some advice on this mini on the tips and advice sub board and it was really useful and enjoyable to discuss a mini as I worked on it. I really like this sculpt and the characterisation and my concern had been that I wanted a bright, clean style and palette. This isn't my usual style so it was good to run through things. I used wash (aka liquid skill aka gloop gloop gloop) less and highlighted more. She will be used for skirmish and mass battle games. I painted a Bones version of her terribly some time ago so may need to buy the metal version of her, dismounted.

Have nearly finished her, I think, but I am scared about shading her by using a wash. I might just work up more highlights. On the other hand if I did a careful, weak black wash, there would be some extra definition. I think brown or sepia would just dull everything down. What do people think?

One of my players fell in love with the Devona model, but she's playing an archer. So I whipped out the selection of alternate weapons from Bones 3, and here we go: Removing the staff portions from the center of her hand took a lot of ticklish work with an exacto knife. The glue is setting right now. I want to give it plenty of time to set -- I'm worried about the bow coming off later. I didn't see any way to pin it given the bow's lack of any particular thickness to drill into on the horizontal plane. Any suggestions for ensuring the bow stays in place are welcome!

I have a question on this mini to anyone who has painted her or even looked at her. She's 77036 Devona, Female Wizard in the preview section and part of the bones kickstarter. On her back are these two serrated bits that I can't figure out what they are as far as clothing or armor.
