MamaGeek Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 This is the last of my box of minis I had to finish before I could buy more. She's an old mini I painted 2 years ago, and recently stripped to repaint. Her face was damaged, especially around the eyes, so I tried to keep that area simply painted. I apologize for the poor photography. I'm not really sure what's going on with my camera lately... The WIP can be found here. This is what she looked like when I painted her 2 years ago: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmbyDextrous Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 love the design on the robe! and quite a comparison to two years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercius Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Joy, fantastic work as always....you would never know the face was damaged, it looks great. Your blends are phenomenal and your freehand continues to impress me. The only part I am not super excied about are the boots. They look rushed compared to all the detail seen in the rest of the mini. The gem on the staff is one of the best gems I have seen in a long time. 8/10 from me, great job!

jah-joshua Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 very nice improvement... i like the before and after shots... it's always good to see painters progress, and improve the skills... the gem on top of the staff is the standout bit of work, for me... i really like the feathers as well... the only thing that looks weak is the freehand... a little too chunky... cheers jah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaGeek Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah, I did rush the boots and the freehand. I was too anxious to get on to other projects. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimL Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Beautiful job, I too like the gem and the robe is very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator TaleSpinner Posted April 12, 2010 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2010 Nice job, Joy. I love the hair; the highlights are perfect. I also love your palette on this one. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Very nice, and its cool to see your improvement over the years. To me its the details that really make this a stand out mini. The hair, the feathers, the gem on the staff. All the little bits really add to the whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pez5767 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The hair is the item that sticks out to me the most. I'm still trying to get that smooth look on a regular basis. Great job. While I agree with Jah about the freehand, it's impressive as a representation of how far your skills have come... could you imagine even trying something like that two years ago!? Great job, and a lot of fun to see the before and after. Thank you for sharing your hard work. pez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerebro1974 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 So do you have a list of mini's to buy now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaGeek Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 So do you have a list of mini's to buy now? I bought a couple of GW figures to paint up for the Games Day Baltimore Golden Demon this August. I've written about this some on my website, if you're interested. I really wish I could have made it to Reapercon, but Texas isn't doable for me, and Baltimore is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowestover Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I like your paint job on this mini. Looks good! You have a very obvious increase in skill from the original version (I think I remember seeing you post pix of when you painted this some years ago...) Those before\after pix are always great - they show where you came from vs. where you are now... Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
