60079: Lyrie Akenja

This is one of the last figures from my year-end Conga Line of finishing up half-done minis, Reaper's 60079: Lyrie Akenja, a Pathfinder miniature sculpted by Julie Guthrie.

 

She's a special figure to me.

 

Lyrie Akenja is the first figure I bought after a twenty-year hiatus from minis.  I spotted her somewhere, thought "Wow, an African wizard!  Things sure have changed," and bought her, along with a few other minis.

 

I then proceeded to give her the worst paint job I had ever given a mini in my life.

 

I hadn't realized that I needed glasses nowadays, and I was too nervous to focus properly.

 

So after some angst, I soaked her paint off and started again.

 

And set her aside for a couple of years while I developed a new skill set.

 

And then picked her up again to finish with the Conga Line.

 

I like her little pushing the hood up with the wand gesture.

Times sure have changed - and in a good way, in this case. :)

 

There's so much about the world which hurts; but there's a certain truth in art, and there always will be. 

 

Congrats on making continued progress and great work!

I looked up the old WIP thread, and yes, it was less than a month after I came back to miniatures that I started her. She appears to be my earliest modern face too.

Thanks for your kind comments!  I've added "scribe" to her tags because of course.

      Citrine paints Grenadier Female Halfling Thief
      By Citrine
      This is the last mini finished in December 2020, mini number 79 of the year.  I hit 97 mini if I count large minis as 2 each.  Not too shabby, my goal was to finish 50.
       
      So this mini is the Female Halfling II from the Julie Guthrie series 2 from Grenadier (SKU 8145).  She is the smallest mini I have painted in a long time, so I am super happy with her face.

      Hello Everyone! I just painted this guy this morning and liked him so much I figured I may as well post him here.  I also decided to try and freehand some stars on his robes, so tell me what you think.  Also any tips on lighting and stuff would be nice.  Currently I'm just using two lamps and my phone camera.

      60009, Seoni the Sorceress
      By Metalchaos
      Hello everyone, here are pictures of the third model I entered in the Pathfinder painting contest. This is the metal version of 60009 Seoni the Sorceress sculpted by Bob Ridolfi.
      The challenging part on this one was painting the tattoos and the other freehand on her clothes.

      Ral Partha Charging Barbarian sculpted by Julie Guthrie
      By 72moonglum
      Hello again Reaper Message Boardonians!
       
      So here's another piece of old school goodness, a Ral Partha Charging Barbarian, sculpted by Julie Guthrie way back in the delightful eighties.  This one was originally in one of the Partha Boxed sets, 98-015 Bezerkers, and now is sold individually at Iron Wind Metals.
       

       
      Pretty quick to paint as he was unencumbered by too much armor, clothing or general stuff.  My biggest challenge with this fellow was to figure out his hair color.  Blonde eventually won the day.  
       
      Anyhoos, please enjoy!
