ub3r_n3rd 152244 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Vallisra Satish ​Standing inside her summoning circle, Vallisra Satish thumps her staff of power down and channels forth arcane energies, the runes light up red and energies start to swirl about. She throws her head back and laugh wickedly, the plane opens up and out steps her Eidolon... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Figure - Evil Female Mage (DSM-1168) Manufacturer - Darksword Miniatures Material - Pewter WIP Thread here.

haldir 27650 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Nice! I like the base, really adds to the overall look to the mini. You gonna paint up the Eidolon as well? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ub3r_n3rd 152244 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Nice! I like the base, really adds to the overall look to the mini. You gonna paint up the Eidolon as well? Thanks! Yeah, I "cheated" and printed it out and then put it on a wooden 1-inch square that I use for most of my bases. The Eidolon I will paint up when I get the figures needed. It's a mix of a snake (head/body), Lion (legs), and Eagle (feathery wings). So I'll have to mash-up 3 figures to do it the way I have the creature envisioned.

haldir 27650 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Hmmm I see you buying a Coutal, a feline mini & a eagle familiar in your future Also about the only thing I think would add to the figure would be some sorta runes/freehand on the edges of the cloak or dress. Maybe in gold? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ub3r_n3rd 152244 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 I might go ahead and do that on her cloak, thanks for the suggestion. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanael 14725 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Dig that cloak, and the skin is real nice! I might suggest a little GS work around the edge of the base to hide the edge of the paper and hold it in place in case it curls as it ages. The skin really looks good. It's just red enough, and I like it. I like the way her palette ties together, too, with the red, blue and purple. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleBluberry 34461 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Haldir is right, I think you're definitely ready to tackle some freehand soon. (If not on this mini, then perhaps on another.). It's one of the features I like about the Dark Sword style of sculpts, they can be simple and beautiful or you can embellish the fabric with as much painted detail as you want. I like the composition of her standing on the side of the star, is it stable for gaming? I'm super-conservative and always have my characters stand right in the middle because I hate having PCs fall over by accident! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ub3r_n3rd 152244 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks LB :) She's pretty steady, being on a wooden base. I thought about centering her, but wanted to show the summoning circle. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dontfear 10131 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 I like off center. Looks good! You did good work here. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KruleBear 4329 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Looks nice Uber. I missed your wip on this, but you continue to get better. You might want to check your brush or purple paints as there appears to be several loose fibers debris in the purple of the cloak. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chaoswolf 107780 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Nice job! I second Sanael's idea about something to hide the edge of the paper/keep it in place. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasonator 29604 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Fantastic Ub3r! The base is a perfect foil to the character,and the color balance is magnificent. Really like how the eye is drawn all around the figure. The unity of the piece makes you want to roam all over it, and examine every detail ! That type of balance is soooooooooooooooooo hard to get and you did a smashing job of it ! Another one to place in the memory banks to come back and visit for inspiration ! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darcstaar 8250 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 She came out great, Ub3r. I agree that the cloak is such a large area it begs for some freehand. However, her cloak is a lot more wrinkled than the typical mini cloak, so a line of stuff along the lower outer hem will be tough to pull off with all the peaks and valleys. Given what I've seen of your recent work, I am confident that you can pull it off. Nice trick on the summoning circle. It has just the right color and scale. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
