Darkstar Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hey guys, these two minis were gratis from SK here at the boards a couple of Christmases ago and I finally got around to painting them. I thought I had finished my "wall of shame" of figures with my last mini I posted here, but lo and behold I found 4 more in a drawer when scavenging around. So these two represent 50% of the very last of what I have to paint before I can consider my collection of unpainted metal totally done. Two more upcoming to finish before the end of this month, or towards the end of it depending. Let's see, Future Widow was very fun to think of a color scheme for her outfit it could have gone any which way. I chose a sort of leathery/silky pink/white deal and black hair with red glasses and a green base. Lots of colors everywhere. Next is the Female Wizard and this mini although complicated to assemble believe it or not, (her hands, arms and staff were tricky!) had alot of wide open areas that I couldn't resist painting some detail on. Can't let those wide open areas go to waste. Also sculpted a couple of locks of hair on her face on the left hand side to help balance out her hairstyle otherwise I felt her face was too wide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsya Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 They look amazing I love all the colors. I really love the glasses on the first one. Also your freehand is always amazing. I like the sheer stockings on the wizard. Awesome job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaelynne Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would love to see how you do that freehand... I just took a little painting class last night on canvas (it's one of those BYOB (wine really) places, so it's more 'fun' than a lesson), and I still struggle with paint consistency and brush control. It's really tricky!! More practice is what I need. :) 'blending' is my least favourite word right now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hot mamas! Good stuff Sean. Thrilled to see you getting some paint on these ladies... Love the subtle earthy tones, color choices are spot on, FH is very nice (maybe a bit overwhelming), the blends are well done and I'm diggin' the sheer effects on the the stockings. You need to forward these on to Werner at FB, he would LOVE to see these... The Freebooter website has been updated, so you may need to create a new account.

Zonto Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I kind of hate you a little. But in a friendly way. Excellent paint jobs - I especially like the female wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercius Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Man, just when I think I can't dig your painting any more...you do this. One of my favorite painters and a constant source of inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruunwald Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Cripes! I don't know whether I'm inspired to paint more or just quit completely! Outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlady Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Holy moly! Your freehand on the back of the wizard's skirt is unbelieveably amazing! I have this mini, too, and I gave up on trying to get her arms to fit right - I cut the staff in half and gave her two sticks. But I really like the unusual color scheme - bright and subtle at the same time. The pinks on the Future Widow are a lot of fun - very retro 60's (alas, I remember those....) and the greens/reds on the base make a nice contrast.
