Astrid, Female Chronicler as Grace Desirap - by Cyr

[Cyradis]

I was stressing a lot, so I put down the figure that I'm doing really intense work on and picked up this one for fun. I filed her ears to be more humanish, as I painted her to be "Grace Desirap" from my D&D campaign. She's pretty much a punk rock princess, with the band Shocked Hearts. I soon realized that she was not the best figure for de-stressing, because there are many annoying nooks and crannies to worry about on her and it is easy to fudge up. That, and the green for her outfit has awful coverage. But it is a pretty green! I could have planned guitar colors better, but eh, whatever. I had fun with her.

I like her!

Awesome greens!

Another wonderful figure. I still don't like the frog-green trouser, but I will admit that it absolutely fits the character.

 

Wonderful face and a really great and beautiful expression! Thank you for sharing her with us!

I like the freehand hearts everywhere.

She had to be ridiculous for the punk rock

It is your figure after all. I am just commenting.

Another awesome figure from you! Her face and the freehand on the guitar are off the charts. Very well done!

I really dig how you painted the face and hair, just love the expression, fits the overall look of the mini very well.

So much good work there... your chill out work is amazing in detail.

Good paintin'

Very good face on a figure that the hair makes it difficult to access. And I like the green too.

[Cyradis]

Difficult-to-access could be an alternate name for this figure, lol! 

[Kuro Cleanbrush]

Sweet colors!  And her face is very lovely!!!

[Pingo]

She is gorgeous!

What is this fun of which you speak?  We're supposed to have FUN while painting?  Interesting...  

 

I love the pain job on this.  Her face turned out particularly nice.  Those eyes must have been 'fun' to paint!

The eyes went pretty darn smoothly, actually! The tough part was not messing up the face or eyes while painting hair (and similar issues in other areas). 

 

I also hadn't realized how this figure is conceptually tough to shade some parts. She's very vertical, so you don't get extreme highlight/shadow for the top of the leg or a raised arm, or floofy cloak. Except for the booty.... so much booty. All the klockenbooty.
