WolfDreamerNZ Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Well now that FFII is over - I can show you my latest fig...a repainted Lorna the Huntress. I ran a bit short of time with her but I am pretty happy with the result! Her before shot: I reckon I'll submit her to Glen's Crappy Mini or Not...

Dai-Mongar Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 That's one hell of an improvement! I particularly like the face on this one, it looks dangerous - femme fatale indeed! Tartan looks good too; I haven't been bold enough to try it yet, but I think I'll give it a go. Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDreamerNZ Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I haven't been bold enough to try it yet, but I think I'll give it a go. Any tips? It isn't hard once you get going.... I used the tutorial over at Jenova Pseudo Tartan to give me the basics and it went fairly smoothly from there. I was concerned it would turn out horribly - but it was quite fun!

Voladilk Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I like how it turned out mate. The tartan is fantastic and I love the woad on the face. Very nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versutus Vulpes Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Very nicely done... Beautiful transition on the skin - excellent highlights on the hair - and the tartan... over the top!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 nice job, and wow, what an improvement. How long between the before and after paint job? I think the red and turquoise look very good together, very "battleready". The closed eyes are a great touch, sword is nice too. I would probably paint the cork to bring the base up closer to the figs standard. Uh, is a tartan the shirt? Off to look in Dictionary.

Shakandara Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I've never cared much for this sculpt (the stance always seemed a bit goofy to me, plus her waist is the same size as her thigh!), but your paintjob of it really turns that around. With the tartan and the face paint, I can actually start to believe she is ready to deal out an a$$whooping. Good looking paintjob! ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Thats an awesome improvement from the before shot. She definitely looks formidable now. Love the tartan on her as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDreamerNZ Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Thanks for all the compliments - I'm pretty happy with her...the base was where I ran out of time - the cork was primed with her - and has several layers but not enough contrast to be complete - you are very correct... As for her face - you couldn't really see it in the pics - so here is a closeup....her eyes are open (and green no less). The pic is from an earlier WIP but her face was finished.... Time wise - I had a look... I started painting in Oct 03. Coral (the before pic) was my fifth mini ever painted in late Dec 03 - early Jan 04 (very slow painter). Lorna was painted in Feb 07 and was my lucky 30th mini. So time wise - a long time but there was 18 months where I painted nothing in that gap...easier to look at that in terms of how many minis. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldarchy Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I really like this one. Love the Braveheart theme! Awesome. Now I want to go paint me some tartans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDreamerNZ Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thanks again for the compliments - LCS: Her skin is a milestone for me -I have been working on my blending and layering for ages and finally it seems to pay off on the figure...now if I can just keep it up and followit through to other areas...
