01532, Esme the Chibi Witch

[Metalchaos]

Here's a Special Edition Figure I finished Yesterday. She was fun and fairly easy to paint thanks to the big details. It's a great model to practice on eyes painting.

So, here's 01532, Esme the Chibi Witch sculpted by Bob Ridolfi and totally inspired by Rhonda Bender's choice of color.

 

Her cloak is screaming for a freehand but I'm lacking inspiration. Anyone got an idea?

Not sure that it is calling for anything, it looks great as is.

 

If it needs anything, maybe a very thin line of filigree along the bottom edge with some sort of fancy, stylized flower design in the center?

Finely done! Chibi minis are really fun to paint.

Amazing!

 

Great eyes.

 

I think she looks awesome as is, but if you really want to do a freehand, she is a witch, so maybe something like a spiderweb, or bats or maybe a skull or two?

She looks great!  Love the green in the hair!

Great job! The hair and eyes are fantastic.

I love your detailed work!  Sill question perhaps but what is Chibi?

Big headed, Big Eyed, cartoonish miniatures.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions everyone. I like your ideas for the freehand.

I think I'll go for a discrete lace line at the bottom of the cloak. A skull and bone design should be appropriate.

 

As Xherman1964 explain, Chibis are cartoonish miniatures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibi_(term)

Very nice job on her!
