2725 Alaine/Dragonlance PC

[Sanael]

Ingrid Southwall, a paladin for our Dragonlance campaign. We're playing through the classic modules, and this PC's scores are racking up quickly. After a single session, she's one-shotted five hobgoblins and three draconians, and contributed to the demise of several more of each.

 

Having put together the photos, she's got some splashes that need cleaning, mainly the blue patch on her leather pouch. And, she'll get more basing once I've painted and sealed the whole party. But otherwise, here she is!

 

 

C&C welcome!

I love the eyes and hair!

I like this, I like the hair and the eyes.

Thanks, guys. I'm quite proud of the hair, too. The eyes...well, it's a secret, so don't tell anyone, but I photographed her from an angle that doesn't show how walleyed she is. The sculpt is a bit off kilter, and it was tough to get the pupils even.

 

Otherwise, it's pretty well the "Bette Davis Eyes" method from the Craft article. Glad you like it!

maybe i need some sort of magnifier... i never seem to be able to get decent eyes.. Great work on the Pally Sanael.

[Kuro Cleanbrush]

Great job! And I really like the eyes as well. (I've even had to employ clever photography myself for that from time to time. )

 

She's off to a fine start on the battlefield too!

This one takes me back to the first campaign my wife played in. She insisted upon running an Elven Paladin. She then proceeded to show everyone what it is like to have extremely lucky rolls...all the time.

Love it. Really solid work.

Heh. This is this player's first D&D campaign, too. We'll see if her luck holds, though; we have several players who give off quite the aura of "oneness." Great for Zen Buddhists, bad for D20 RPGers and their playgroups.

Very nice.

I know how uneven this figure's face is (from a slightly shifted mold, I think). I even used it as a demonstration in my ReaperCon class on "paint plastic surgery" -- I evened out her face quite a bit by judiciously painting the low eye higher and the high eye lower, and painting the lips more symmetrically. All that said, it looks like you did well. She has a sort of innocent/hapless look, though, since her left eyebrow is high above her nose. If that isn't what you intended, you could touch up the eyebrow to be lower there, to give a more serious/intimidating look.

 

Now, if the player asked you to paint miniatures of all the paladin's kills, you would be a busy painter! You might want to add blood and severed body-parts all over the base (and blood on the sword), at least, to make it accurate....

Hah! Derek, thanks as always for your comments. Good to know I'm not crazy thinking she's off-kilter.

 

As it goes, I am at the very least painting a bunch of draconians once I finish the party. So I'm sorta painting her kills...sorta.
