Hasslefree HFC002 "Mineko"

[Pingo]

This is Hasslefree's HFC002 "Mineko".

 

I am not satisfied with how she came out. I was trying to do something way too ambitious with her clothes and they got kind of out of control.

 

She is a part of my clearing out of my Shelf of Shame, "Pingo's Conga Line of Half-Finished Minis". Sometimes you just need to get things finished and on the gaming table.

She is a LOVELY creation. Her BEAUTIFUL face & the WONDERFUL freehand make the mini for moi. OUTSTANDING WORK!

At this size the kimono looks great. I bet it looks fantastic IRL.

[Glitterwolf]

You're on a roll Pingo!

[Guindyloo]

I'm sorry that you're not satisfied with her because she's gorgeous!

[tiniest rhombus]

I think she looks fantastic! The first thing I thought was wow! I love that kimono.

[Chaoswolf]

I think you did a very good job on her!

I do like the kimono a lot.

 

 

But I think what may be bothering you is that each shape looks flat, and 'glued' onto the fabric. I think it would require some bluring some of the edges of the details at times, plus more colors on each spot of color. Which would be very time consuming, so I understand you wanting to be done with it, and moving on.

Now that's a very inspiring freehand.

Nice job with the robe

[vegascat]

Very cool, I love her overall, but the robe is really outstanding.

Yeah, the kimono is great and definitely has that "Pingo" feel. Beautiful job, don't be so hard on yourself.

[Gadgetman!]

The only way to improve on that kimono would be to use an airbrush and a stencil for the patterns, and really, I'm not all that certain it would be better...

(Stencils aren't good with folds in cloth. Not that I would know, of course. I don't have any stencils yet, and have yet to try my cheapass airbrush.)
