SGHawkins09 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) This is my entry to the Painting Excuses Challenge. I was not going to do anything for this contest but then I got a sample of pink paint with my Reaper order and I had a flash of inspiration. In the end I am happy with the way this one turned out. I was painting the Bones version so the hands and face had issues but in the end she makes for a good tabletop mini. I tried a little freehand and put some cherry blossoms on her dress but I could not get a good picture of them. Any input would be appreciated.

Inarah Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nicely done. She looks like she belongs in that photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 very nice. Love the freehand sakura on her dress. Only thing I would 'suggest' (I use that lightly, be cause it did not work out for me) is a bit heavier shadows, it is a night scene she belong to after all, but she looks lovely on her own without.

LittleBluberry Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Neat idea, I have that exact bottle of paint and I need to find something to do with it! The freehand is lovely, I just wish I could see more of it in the picture. And honestly, I'm having a hard time even seeing the casting issues with her, so you've done a great job!

SGHawkins09 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks for the great comments. I will try later today to get a better photo of the freehand as I was very happy with how it turned out, especially as it was only the second time I had done freehand.

SGHawkins09 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ok, here are some better pictures of the freehand. I apologize for the quality, my camera does not like taking close up pictures and every time I took a picture at this angle it kept focusing on the stump. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBluberry Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Soooooo pretty!!! Thanks for sharing the extra pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianCrane Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The sakura is really nice, thanks for the new shot. Also getting closer, without a serious macro lens getting too close is a bad plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
