Versutus Vulpes Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Here she is from my WIP thread... Calling her done. This mini will be given as a gift to my sister who was married at Jackson Square (before Katrina) - Hence the Chartres and St. Ann street lamp. She and her husband have a deep love for the city and things of a supernatural nature, so I am hoping they like this piece. Comments/critique always appreciated. And if you feel like it - share the love on CMON... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voladilk Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Very well done VV. Love what you did with this one. Wish I could get a hold of one of these myself, but alas. I really like the colours you chose and the purpose behind it sounds really nice! I hope they like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyHorde Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Very nice work, clean and smooth. I'm still digging the color choices, and the wings are well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhaidra Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Good job at her face, the yellow robe and all the flowers and small details, skin also turned out very good but I'm really not sure what I shall think about the veins at her wings. Honestly I think it's basically a good idea but on the other hand it makes her look like a little bit creepy and maybe I don't like it very much because Sophie always was painted as a very beautiful one and so I feel little bit divided. The veins itself are painted very good. They really seem to shine through the skin of the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versutus Vulpes Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 vhaidra - I've received similar feedback on CMON. Mostly a stunt to refine the technique. I like the concept, and the next time I do a dragon I will really hammer it down. But I tend to agree, maybe on a sweet little Sophie they are a bit much. Then again - I could point out that as a succubus she does need to have a little bit of creepy about her... That nagging sense that something is far uglier about this sweet lady as she encloses you in those wings and begins to drain your soul... But lets face it - that would be artistic gibberish on my part. I'll settle for interesting concept, moderately pulled off, on the wrong mini. As for the pallet - it was from my sister's dress, so she gets the credit for that one . Thanks all for the kind words and feedback. It is always appreciated.

tanker22 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 You did a realy good job on her VV. Not much else I can say on her that you havn't heard yet. Only thing I would have done different is the stockings. Think they would look good as see through. Sophie is such a tease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurityThruFire Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 VV - An excellent job, what an utterly wonderful choice of colors on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versutus Vulpes Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Sorry for the bump... I am gifting her tomorrow - and I was stumped for a good way to present her... So I settled for this: I had to extend out the back of the frame to fit her base, and she is held in place with some RE magnets. So you can open it up to see her close, and the rest of the time she is tucked away. The image is of the Cathedral at Jackson Square.
