Ferox Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Just finished this one up for the same D&D campaign as Nayl. Seoni's going to represent Shawna, a lawful good Invoker of Bahamut who happens to be a defence lawyer. In this campaign, Bahamut doesn't exist, and his "Justice" portfolio has transferred to Asmodeus. Exciting times. I think this is the best "human-sized" mini I've painted to date. The gradient on the dress, the skintones, and the metallics are about as good as I've been able to manage. This is also the first time I've been able to paint proper eyes (iris+retina, eyeshadow, eyebrows) and reasonable hair highlights. Obviously I have plenty of room for improvement on both, but it's a step change in the right direction. The figure itself was a bit of a pain to work with -- mould lines in hard-to-reach places, and a big void on the back of the dress. One area I need to improve in model prep is getting rid of mould lines in areas of fine, small-scale detail. C&C very much appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I have that same problem with mold lines. Her face and dress came out very well I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruggs Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I really like what you've done with her:). Great job. I also really like the blonde you did as it looks natural not too yellow or too white. Which colors did you use for the hair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercius Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Good job...I have this mini sitting on my desk...honestly I am scared to death of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks folks! Fruggs: I basecoated with khaki highlight, then applied a controlled wash of VMC Smoke (which'd been sitting on my wet palette for a few days and was pretty heavily thinned). I went back over the hair bundles with a mix of khaki highlight, linen white, and a tiny bit of Smoke, and then added pure white in a couple of increments for the highlights. Mercius: Honestly, she wasn't all that tough to paint. Jolie was worse. pLylyth was much, much worse. In particular, Seoni's eyes are huge and easy to get at. There's not much that's awkward on this mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citrine Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Very nice, I really like the gradient on the dress. Like Mercius I have this one in the pile and I am intimated by her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulfthehunter Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Awesome paintjob on the model. I like the backstory also, sounds like an interesting campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks folks. I delivered Seoni to her player tonight and she was very well-received -- people kept picking her (and Nayl) up off the battle grid and scrutinizing them, so I'll take it as a compliment. Got a couple more PC mini "commissions" on the workbench for next week; the best thing is that they pay me in beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Very nice! I really like the fade on the dress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaelynne Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 oh man, I never thought of that! Ana and I need to start charging PC and bad guy commissions in Chips Ahoy and beer! Or maybe cheese and wine... we'll have to mix it up a little. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
