A Vampire in Velvet: 60138: Sheila Heidmarch, Venture Captain by Pingo

[Pingo]

This is Reaper's 60138: Sheila Heidmarch, Venture Captain, sculpted by Patrick Keith. It's a magnificent sculpt.

 

My GM needed vampires for a game, and as I said in my WIP thread, "not all female vampires hang around graveyards in unlikely and suspicious states of undress." So Sheila Heidmarch has been adapted. Jokes about Ventrue Captains may have been made.

 

I got an idea for how to paint velvet as well, so she is something of an experiment in that line.

That dress turned out nice. I didn't notice it in your wip, but the effect on the top of thevstaff is really cool.

The latest of your Lady Vampires has reached new heights of loveliness, a BEAUTIFULLY  painted creation. VERY WELL DONE!

[Schirf]

She is stunningly beautiful! 

And I love your style and it works particularly well here!

[Sanael]

Thanks for the WiP, I'm stealing the velvet principles for the next noble I paint.

 

She is truly gorgeous.

 

"Ventrue" captain, indeed.

You really nailed the velvet effect.  The color lends a spooky effect.  Seconds on the effect on the staff, a really cool idea!

[Citrine]

She is beautiful!

Ventrue was the wealthy house, right?

 

Looks great as always!

As always, so impressed by the work you do. Everything about that piece is spot on.

BTW are those flasks of blood on her belt?

[paintybeard]

Really, like the the gem-crusted hem.

Very nicely done. I may "borrow" the idea for velvets as well...

Thanks! For a while I was looking at the staff top wondering what to do about it.

I think so. Mostly it was a cheap "Vampire: The Masquerade" joke. And thanks.

I've had fun painting illusionistic gems.

Yeah, they were the resource heavy clan IIRC. Been a long time since I've even thought much about that game. Good times, but I doubt it aged well, thematically. Perfect for the mid to late 90s though.

Love this quote! I had a lot of difficulty finding an appropriatly dressed female vampire for my own campaign.

 

She is very beautiful! I especially like her eyes, they bing a lot of life (or unlife ) to the miniature.
