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.

      Wizards of the Coast D&D metal model.
      From the year Two-Thou-sand (you have to say it like Conan O'Brien)
      Rescued from the Island of Lost Pewture, (aka my friends rpg storage shed)  and painted up. I love his goggles, I don't think you see enough of those on wizard minis. I can see a fireball coming.

      03631, Quoralei and 60048, Fox Familiar
      By Metalchaos
      Hello everyone, here are pictures of a special NPC I painted last night. Originally an Aquatic Elf, I converted her to make her a Drow abjurator accompanied by her black fox.
      I slightly converted 03631, Quoralei from the original model sculpted by Derek Schubert for the Dark Heaven Legends line. I replaced the sea shell she was holding by a spellbook and added a wand in her left hand.
      The 60048, Fox familiar was sculpted by Julie Guthrie, it's originally the familiar of Feiya the Iconic Witch from the Pathfinder line.
