fieldarchy Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Here's Sophie: I am well aware that the metals look really bad in the photo. I've repainted them several times and they look fine when you are holding the mini in your hand but they are not coming out well in the picture at all. Sheik Raffik is from the Khaliman Tribe by Alkemy. I painted him as a birthday present for my best friend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Killer Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have to second that the green is great on Sophie. You truly do great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaGeek Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Beautiful sophie. I love her face, the eyes especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimL Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The green is gorgeous and the blends on the sheik are fantastic. Great work on the base. Is there water in the bowl, cool effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted January 26, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2010 Killer minis, Meg. I must say I really like the warm white you produced on the shiek. White is not always easy to pull off and that guy is flawless. Sophie is downright beautiful. Her skin just glows. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Top one is my fav. Skin and face is really really well done. Looks like she has a bowl of tomato soup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaGeek Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Looks like she has a bowl of tomato soup! Oh my, it does! (I think it's supposed to be wine or cider.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 It could be a bowl of tomato soup, why not? It could also be a mulled wine. But I like the tomato soup idea better The green dress on Sophie is GW Dark Angels Green highlighted with RMS linen white and then many many glazes. I am glad everyone love Sophie. I wanted to paint a mini in a day that would still look good and I did get that done, just about. The skin I did in an hour or so the previous day then I spent the next day for 8 hours painting the rest of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakbuzzrd Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The Sophie is just gorgeous. Lush green, and I think the metals turned out really well. Oddly, I think my favorite part of her is her hair -- the highlights pop without looking out of place. Inspiring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 That was my biggest concern with her hair. I wanted to keep it black and the best way to highlight black hair is going with blue mixed in but you run the risk of the hair turning blue. But I think she is very purdy!

gaultj Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Oh, my god. Those skin tones on Sophie make me want to lop off my fingers. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 No no no, don't do that! I want the opposite effect! I want to inspire the desire to learn to get better and keep practicing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
