Artists Popular Post Wren Posted August 17, 2018 Artists Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2018 I had the privilege of painting this year's ReaperCon Sophie, and I thought people might enjoy it if I shared a few views. She's a fun mini to paint. Everything's clearly laid out and apparent, and Bob did such a wonderful job sculpting her face. I think he really captured the pose and spirit of Talin's artwork well. If you aren't into the wings, it shouldn't be too difficult to fill in the plug on the back where they slot in. If you are into wings, the extra attachment point of a small hole on the skirt makes them nice and easy to glue on, and they seem pretty secure to me. (I"m kind of cursed in the area of gluing/assembly.) This is a special edition figure that will only be sold by Reaper during ReaperCon (maybe a little after, but I'd go get one from August 29 - September 2 just to be sure. Actually I will be grabbing more than one, because I would happily paint this again, but however many you want, that's your window. Maybe put it on your calendar to remember if you really want one of these lovely figures. If you aren't able to attend ReaperCon in person, she'll also be sold on the Reaper web store. Here is the wonderful art that Izzy did for the character concept. Here's a picture of Bob Ridolfi's terrific sculpt bringing that artwork to life. And this is a colour version of a seated Sophie that I used to reference to try to capture Talin's vision for the colours. 106 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone wants my brushes and my paints? I think I don't need them anymore. Awesome work, Wren. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroneko Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Wow, that's an amazing paint job- I especially love the blues and the corset. Looks likes my self imposed 'no more minis this month' pledge is going to be broken......again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artists Wren Posted August 17, 2018 Author Artists Share Posted August 17, 2018 If you order on September 1, it's not this month! Yay, problem solved! ;-> I will also be snagging another one or few of these, I'd enjoy being able to paint her up again some time. 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pochi Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I think she is my favorite Sophie. From the concept art to the sculpt to the painted finale, she's beautiful! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flit Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I usually get two Sophies each ReaperCon (whether I actually get to go or not) but I may have to get 3 or 4 this time. I can think of several ways to paint it already. Great job all involved from concept to paint! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
