The second mini I finished while a bunch a y'all were at Reapercon. Very tabletop quality, but there it is. I'll do more to the base once I have a few more things done, I'll batch it out. I love this mini; Julie Guthrie made it super gross!

Alright, so the moss came in and did brighten her up. Now she has happy autumn instead of dark autumn. The lights were getting dim but I had to take some photos anyway! I might update them another time. The colors chosen are based off real colors in actual peacocks, even the spotted sash (upper wing near shoulder) and yellow cloak (legs) and the hair (more wing colors). The tall grass is made of real peacock feathers that I snipped and glued together. I wanted her to be going between some fantastic brush on a rocky hillside. One of the feather pieces got stuck under her arm for photos... and by the time I noticed my sunlight was gone. The flowers are from I think Floranatur? Something like that. The rock is first painted as a gneiss, then drizzled in schist dust, with actual garnets glued in as cobbles, then they got mossed a bit. Not too shabby for first real basing batch? I intend to do a "how to peacock feathers" when 1) I get the energy to do another cloak in peacock feathers, 2) empty out my wet palette, and 3) pick a figure for it. I'll also be taking @Clever Crow's advice and increasing the contrast per feather next time. Enough blather - you all just want pictures!

This one took a while WIP but I wanted to finish it up by the end of the year. I wasn't sure about the eyes at first, but then I started dropping hints about it in my RPG, and now she is showing up as a sleeping guardian in my next game (tomorrow) The base is my most elaborate to date,and my first experience with water effects. The ripples came from a divot I made in the surface that I filled, and then was inspired to change into ripples,with a leaf in the center.
