skya Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I got a couple of requests for more pictures of this one, so I fiugred here was a good place to show her off. I can pretty much blame this one on my husband, upon seeing the mini in the store he suggested that she really needed to be a cowgirl. As he generally suggests really wierd off the wall concepts that I'd never do, I couldnt resist the challenge of a suggestion that I thought was really cool. So, after hacking at her whip and trying to reposition what she came with I finally clipped it off altogether and sculpted my own out over a wire. I then had a hat to add and a head band and fangs to get rid of. Next was the dagger. That got clipped off and I went looking for a good gun to use. That was a lost cause and I eventually ended up sculpting my own. Grr. So yeah, it's a bit large but it works. Once I'd decided on the color scheme the hardest part was painting the rope and the gun. I didnt have the sculpting skill to add the grooves on the rope or the chambers on the gun so I had to do it with paint. Here's hoping ya'll enjoy her. And here's larger pics if you're interested.

skavenbabe Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 shes an absolute BEAUT! Yee HAWW! seriously though, shes fabulous. When I saw her for the first time, i immediately recognized what mini she USED to be.. but my husband, not being the mini addict like I am, thought it was originally sculpted this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexxenhammer Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 That's amazing. I might have to try that. She'd be great for Deadlands, even with the whip. Perfect Black River Rails witch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that the details hadn't been sculpted in, they look really good. I think the hat impresses me the most - it doesn't look like it was just plopped on. I also really like the coloring on the skirt and wings/cape/whatchamacallits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiritual_exorcist Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Nothing short of amazing and creative. I suppose coming up with the idea is half the battle, but I would never have come of with this, let alone ever have attempted it. Very inspiring when it comes to thinking outside the box.

abngi Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 While the whole mini is amazing, what I found incredible is that I assumed the rope detail was sculpted rather than painted, until I read the text. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikmal Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Man I thought this was all original too! I was actually hoping to get the name of the sculp when I saw this posted to here on this site.. (it got my vote on the CCV board that is for sure) The whole thing is simply awesome.. well painted the gun,hat and rope look like they belong there.. not that you made them.. WOW!! Keep it up.. I would love to see a step by step on how you did this if that is possible? :) -jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted March 29, 2005 Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2005 The sculpting is great, as has been said before, but I think your paint job is awsome as well. Your color choice and execution really bring her to life. Beautiful work. TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgramen Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Fantastic job! Like the others, I didn't realize the rope details weren't sculpted. As for the gun, I immediately said "COOL! Clint Eastwood style!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I absolutely love the concept, sculpting and paint job on her! Wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvil Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I, too, would like to add my praise to this fine miniature. I recognized the sculpt, but was fooled by the paintjob into seeing sculpting that wasn't there. And after all, isn't that the point? Excellent work, you should be proud. Thanks for letting us see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
