Seriously, I love these minis. I kick myself all the time that I didn't pledge for this. Not that I even knew what KS was at the point in time that this one closed... but I should have known!! 

Anyways, I think she turned out pretty well. I am still having some trouble blending shadows, but I can tell it's better than before. So I'm gonna just keep blending, just keep blending, just keep blending, blending, blending. 

Her hair is subpar. I know. It was a lack of interest. I have a really bad habit of losing interest the closer to the finish line I get. Especially right now when I'm only getting a few hours a week to paint. I just want to get SOMETHING done... And the mini suffers. So lay the guilt on me. Like I said in my blog post, it's the only way I'll learn. 

 

C&C is always welcome, y'all enjoy!

Losing interest..such an ED nurse thing...bet you don't even know the BUN or creatinine because of lack of interest.

 

Nice work Jessie.

I love your pink, it fits here so well and compliments the blue perfect. Here face turned out very pretty as well. I agree with your on her hair and her sword looks a bit unfinished as well compared to the rest, but I totally understand about losing interest. I am guilty of that too and wish I wouldn't.

 

Overall she looks great and you succeeded in making me want to dig mine out soon to work on.

Nice work Jessi.

Haha! They're breathing, aren't they? You're welcome. 😈

Thanks y'all. Marsya, I'm sure yours will be excellent. They're such fun, delicate minis.

What a face! She's lovely!

[Silvervane]

Very nicely done.  Your making me regret not getting in on this KS as well.

I think you did a great job on her... I really do love the eyes as you obviuosly did NOT lose ineterest when doing those.  The hair could use a bit more definition but the amount of work you put in every where else makes up for that.  (PS you have a hair hanging off her left elbow  )

 

Overall an easy 8+ out of ten!

Another example of how good sculpts bring out the best in us. Really great job, excellent color choices and great details.

 

Only feedback I'd give is of a general nature. Just continue what you're doing, work on increasing contrast, shadow/light placement, differentiating materials. Time to dig into the tough (but fun!) stuff.

 

Hmm, I do have a specific bit of feedback. I think the weakest part is probably the sword, for the reasons I gave above. Needs some more contrast, highlights, and it's not reading as a metal sword. Flat to the horizon swords are a bit tougher to make nice than angled ones imo, but if you apply some NMM shading and highlights to your metallics like so: http://cashwiley.com/2014/12/13/rollo-the-barbarian/(now this was really trying to push it, the lower blade face is almost entirely black but you get the idea!)

 

edited to add emphasis to the positive since this could be read as too much criticism of a very nicely painted mini :p
