Phoenicia, Guild of Harmony Arcane Spellcaster

[Auberon]

One of my December painting goals was to paint a miniature from a manufacturer that I hadn't yet painted anything from.  Looking through my stockpile of 20 miniatures I chose Phoenicia, an arcane spellcaster from Guild of Harmony.  While I was at it, I decided to take care of another painting goal - working on glow effects.  The stone she is standing on already has some engravings, but for a little something more I reached into my Bag o Crap and pulled out one of the 25mm bases that had some arcane looking runes already carved on. 

 

Now that she's pretty well done I can say that my main complaint with the sculpt is that her lower arm is a PITA to work around.  She has those tiny little straps on her side as well as a couple of items that'll have you holding her upside down and turned at a 35^o angle just to reach them. 

 

I also ran into a problem I haven't had before where I guess I sprayed too much sealer on the backside of her skirt.  I'll let it sit overnight and see what I can do with it tomorrow.

 

 

I also snapped a pic under some different lighting so the white isn't so washed out.

 

 

A WIP for anyone interested.

Those transitions on her dress are fantastic! Love it!

Very pretty.

I love this mini, and youve done an excellent job on her. Love the glow, and the fade on her skirt is awesome!

[Auberon]

Thanks everyone.  I just realized that I forgot to paint her nails.     Oh well, next time I have those paints out I'll try to remember.

Wow that's an excellent mini and you've done a great job. I love the color transition on her skirt. The color choices really give it a very old school feel too but the mini is very modern as is your paint job, so it plays off one another well.

I am totally impressed by this and yes the dress is outstanding

The transition on the dress is gutsy. A lot of people will try that and just fall flat. Well done!

That's a fun looking miniature. I'm with everyone else. Love the transitions on the dress. Also like the little red bauble hanging off her belt.

For some of our members, "old school" apparently includes cave paintings.  I'm going to have to ask for a decade to give me a frame of reference.

Lovely work!

This is such a great sculpt. You did a great job painting her. Beautiful work on the clothes.

Her skirt is really well done, your transitions are great. I also like the runes on her base, they really 'pop' in that top down shot.

Great job.  I especially like the transitions on the skirt.
