03810, Bregan, valkyrie: sculpt Gene Van Horne, paint Derek Schubert

[dks]

Behold, Bregan the valkyrie!

Gene Van Horne sculpted her, and she was a lot of fun to paint.

 

The rock has a core of old leftover bits (Green Stuff), held together with new putty, and a surface layer of Green Stuff + ProCreate + Aves Apoxie Sculpt.

 

I have a big container of glue-on snow product in my cabinet but haven't used it much -- I have generally sculpted snow as solid masses and then used paint to add the flaky texture -- example1 (dark elf sorceress),  example2 (dwarf king) but I decided to go back to the old for a change.  I think I also used this same container of "snow" on 02152 Fafnir of Kjord (link) ... painted in 2003!!!  There's a Throwback Thursday for you.  My painting style has changed a little since then.

 

 

 

Enjoy,

Derek

She's gorgeous, as always!  And your painting style just keeps getting more and more amazing.  Thanks for sharing her.

Niiice.  Ace job by Gene, and a splendid paint job to show her off with.  Did I tell you I'm a fan?  Big fan.  Huge fan.  I might tear off my shirt at Reapercon and ask you to sign my chest.  If that's maybe too weird or too soon, then I'll wait until next year when I'm in one of your classes.

Amazing all around! The detail on the scabbard - the lustrous hair, the face....

As always, I apologize for him, Derek. And I promise not to bring him to class with me. 

 

She's gorgeous! Her hair is my favourite part - the highlight across the back is just

Hugely impressed. Her sulky face is very... Nordic.

Super cool, and even cooler to see how even the great ones continue to improve their style!

Beautiful job!  I pulled open my "jar o' snow" recently as well instead of using my former baking soda and superglue mix.

Thanks, folks. 

@paintybeard: Her expression turned out quizzically complex.  Sulky from one side, Mona Lisa smile from the other?  Check it out:

Wowzer she is very impressive ;)

Gorgeous Derek! As for her expression, I imagined that some sexist Viking said something about how she looks cute in that armor, and she's about to show him what's what. 

[paintybeard]

That face is wonderfully done. A Cameron Diaz nose!

[Glitterwolf]

Awesome!

[Chaoswolf]

She's beautiful!

I saw this in person this weekend.  It was very nice.
