Here's Darkspace Hasami, which I finished today. She's a character from Soda Pop Miniature's Relic Knights game. This is the cosplay version of Hasami who works for an alternate faction, in this case, the Noh Empire. The costume is based off Ryuko Matoi's battle outfit from Kill la Kill (a very weird anime). The connection is that regular Hasami (hasami means "scissors" in Japanese) uses a giant pair of scissors, and Ryuko uses a "scissor blade," which is half of a giant pair of scissors (a scissor?). I had to watch a few episodes to learn that and figure out what was even going on with her outfit. The miniature is in the new resin material, which I think is produced by Prodos Games. It's definitely superior to the PVC they were using before, but is not without its faults. I painted the majority of the miniature at ReaperCon 2016, using the limited edition MSP Ghostly Moss. Other dominant colors are P3 Coal Black, MSP Clear Magenta, VGC Purple Ink and MSP Olive Skin Triad. A special shout-out to Adrift, who suggested the MSP Clear Magenta (he described it as Victoria's Secret Pink) for her panties which looked so great I used it in a bunch of other spots as well. I had a fun time getting a nice smooth blend on the scissors, but am not usually interested in spending that much time on minis.

Painted as a "fun" mini in between Warmahordes / Secret Santa Projects A dark elf from Raging Heroes, painted up in my Legion of Everblight colors. I tried to put flames on her sword (there's something "wreathing" her sword, but I'm not sure what it is), but I don't think it came off very well. Her clothes are super-silly, just like my Secret Sophie project, so I'll be glad to paint some more reasonably clothed guys soon. Let's review what she's wearing: one armored boot.one armored shoe + metal bits stuck to her leg. metal bikini bottom with loincloth. metal bikini top that is apparently glued to her breasts, with chains hanging below it. high metal collar. one winged metal pauldron. metal headdress with hair in weird beehive supporting a headband of skull, and her cape. yep, her cape is attached to her HEAD, not her SHOULDERS. just in case there was any semblance of reasonableness. also, she's holding a human heart. As far as the mini, she's made out of the new Raging Heroes resin, which required care to get it off the sprue. The resin felt greasy, but I washed it with soap and the primer went on fine. The resin is pretty sturdy - I didn't feel like the sword was going to break off at any point.
