Anne Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi I just finished this Ice Queen. I like the sculpt alot, and with a wee bit of green stuff for the snowflake on her sword, I think she would be fun to try in different color schemes. I hope you like her! Comments and crits always welcome too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizard Hlavaz Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Wow! Very striking. Very lovely. Great color scheme. The red of the gems offsets nicely against all the blue. And super "wet" effect on her armor. She looks icy. Very nice job!!! Definitely ranks as one of my, if not the, favorite renditions of this model. Great work.

Wilwarin Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Very beautiful!! I love the base too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 She's beautiful. I think the skin, clothing, and sword all look fabulous. The hair throws it off for me, it looks the same color and hard texture as the armor and the sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Enthralling piece! What's the base material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks very much for the compliments! For her base, I painted the undercoat white and added some blue ink washes in some areas (to shine through a bit). The 'ice shards' I glued over this are actually some larger plastic beads I had from way back when. The beads themselves were too big as they were, so I threw some in a plastic bag and smashed them up with a mallet, so I'd have a variety of shard shapes. I was a little disappointed that the shiny faceted characteristic of the broken beads was dulled a bit from the matte sealant, so I'm thinking of going back in with some gloss varnish on the base a bit. I agree the hair was a bit awkward texture wise, I think I had started this back a ways (putting too thick a layer previously). And I probably should have done more of a gradient on the hair so the highlight white would be more easily apparent. Ah well ;) for the next one!

Kataclysm Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 BRRRR! Its' chilly in here! Fantastic job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Very nice indeed! I like the look of her clothes--could be interpreted as ice or as smooth gemstone depending on your imagination. The only nit I see is the dark lining around the ankle is a bit thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I like it! Is there some purple in the shadowing, or is that just my monitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabean Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Amazing work Anne. I'm enthralled! Could you tell me how you did the skin? Fair triad and some of the blues, right? Was it washing or glazing for the blue tones on the skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madzerker Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 love it, nice color shading :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
