Ral Partha's Ciera, Swordmistress

[Pingo]

Quite interesting to see scale creep at work ;). Really like the color choices for the skin and lips. The miniature looks quite suitable for a Halfling. One suggestion would be to use some darker shadows/washes to delineate surfaces/details better from each other. Will you integrate the base into a bigger one?

I probably won't add to her base.  She's a very well-balanced sculpt, not very prone to tipping despite the small base.

 

And I think I will leave well enough alone as regards lining.

 

As for the hobbit matter, she is a little larger than Reaper's modern halflings (and a gnome), I found when I pulled them out to do a comparison scale shot.

I love that figure! I bought mine back in the 90's (yeah, I'm old.)

Her face reminds me very much of Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley. You never cease to amaze, Pingo, but this is definitely top of the line work.

I painted her in a thread somewhere here where I used only old Partha paints.  Also, every single one I've seen (including my own) has been a redhead. 

 

There's a neato similar Sandra Garrity figure in the Reaper DHL catalog, too.  02047: Samantha of the Blade.

The sad thing is I was consciously trying to make her a brunette.

 

Here she is with the other two Old School women I was painting at the same time.  The one on the left, another Ral Partha, is clearly a black-brunette.  The one on the right, RAFM's female ranger,  is the one I was trying to make a redhead.

looks awesome.

 

Maybe you could use her as a teenager girl in a game?

That face is really well done! The eyes and eyebrows are perfect. :)
