Popular Post dks Posted April 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2013 "Welcome to the Dark Carnival!" ReaperCon 2013 is just two days away. Some of you may have seen the "Reaper Con Sophie green" thread on the Message Board, or noticed her in the Preview Gallery, but in case you missed those, here is my painted rendition of this year's ReaperCon Sophie. I sculpted her (finished one month ago) and sent her to Reaper for moldmaking, got a first-generation metal master back, and painted that last week. Tim "Talin" Collier designed her outfit, and drew and colored the concept art. He also came up with this pose, including the "elephant stand" and megaphone, in a thumbnail sketch that he provided to me. Aside from the two wispy locks of hair in front of her ears (which I added with Green Stuff) and the basing materials (round plastic base, sculpted rocks, static grass, and birch-seed "leaves"), this is the stock figure right from the mold. Plenty of little details to paint! You can buy one for yourself at the convention or online this weekend -- it's a limited-time offering. Some people here on the message boards say they'll be buying one and leaving off the wings to make a non-demonic carnival barker or magician. Enjoy! And see some of you soon in Denton.

Moderator Darsc Zacal Posted April 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2013 Excellent Excellent work on the sculpting and the painting of your mini. There's a lot of little details easily missed on a first look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackMann Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Quick question, speaking of leaving the wings off: How prominent are the wing mounts? For someone who doesn't sculpt much, how much greenstuff repair would be needed to fill those gaps?

Girot Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 i am going to be attempting the Día de Muertos face paint on a female grim reaper and am very pleased it looks so good at that scale. Very well done! As for buying her at the con... do we get one in the goody bag or do we have to buy her seperate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercius Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 As always Derek, your painting and sculpting skills are amazing. I am excited to get my hands on this one, got a friend picking one up for me while she is down for ReaperCon, since I can't make it this year.

You get one in your bag whether you're at ReaperCon in person or are having your Swag bag mailed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassu Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 She looks fantastic! love the details on her corset / jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baugi Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 So. Yeah. I just put it together that "dks" = Derek Schubert. Not to get too fanboy or anything, but you are goddamn incredible. Your Lem, Ezren and Corim are 3 of my all-time favourite paintjobs. This one is pretty effing stellar also. Love the details on the vest, and her eyes are incredible.

Pingo Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 She's beautiful, and gorgeously painted. I love those hat decorations and the button boots. A lovely job, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Holy canoli. I'm probably going to steal that paintscheme. And butcher it. But, it's the thought that counts - right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Cleanbrush Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 She looks wonderful, and I especially love her eyes! I am also very fond of the subtle detailing on her corset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
