Harpy

[MamaGeek]

I painted this Reaper Bones harpy as a quick fun mini for gaming.  Hence no fancy base, and very simple metals, etc.  I didn't even carve off the mold lines (though I probably should have done at least that!)

 

She's topless, so here's a link to more photos on my website.

Excellent.

I really like your color choices and the way the wings and scales came out.

Such a nice skin tone!

Very nice, I especially like the way the feet scale shading turned out.

 

 

And in my experience cleaning the mold lines takes about 100% of the amount of time doing a 'quick' paint job does on Bones. So... to clean or not to clean.. that is the question.

That's a cute face. It's a nice piece of work for a nasty piece of work.

The blood vessels on the inside of the wings are supercool

I wondered if anyone would notice that! You have to click the link to see them, of course. Thanks!

 

And thank you, everyone, for your kind comments.

Nicely done.  I like the contrast between the sweet face and the monstrous form.  Perfect harpy.

I wish I could claim that was intentional!  I think that's more a credit to the sculptor than to me.  I just painted it like I saw it, and didn't do much thinking on this one, since it was just a gaming mini.  So kudos to Miss Julie Guthrie!!

Oh I do so very much love your colour palette for this lovely lady
