77276 - Sea Hag

[canuckotter]

I got the Sea Hag in a bonus pack during last year's Hallowe'en promotion and just got around to painting her up. (Well, starting to paint her up anyway.) Thankfully I looked up Pingo's WIP thread where she commented on some of the details I'd missed, like the starfish on the back of the left leg and the crab on the back of the right arm! (Although I did clue in to the octopus... I'm blind, but not that blind... ) This makes two Julie Guthrie sculpts in a row for me (the last one was the Christmas hoard dragon) and I gotta say, I'm loving her work more with each one. So many details, but of just the right size and style that they're incredibly fun to paint rather than being tedious. And really forgiving of the terrible paint jobs I'm applying!

 

I should point out that I'm still at the stage of finish up the base coats and starting to sketch in highlights. I'm not quite this incompetent.

 

First, the obligatory front and back view:

 

And now a few close-ups of the details! I broke out the big camera and the macro lens for these... please forgive the horrifyingly awful paint jobs you'll see.

 

The crab on the back of the right arm:

 

The starfish on the back of the left leg:

 

The octopus on the left arm:

(And yes I realise I missed like half of the top tentacle. Imma fix that in a few.)

 

Anywho... Thoughts? Suggestions on colour scheme? Etc.

NICE START! I have one of those Waterlogged Girls sitting patiently in her blister; I haven't figured out a color scheme either.
