Ral Partha Shadowrun Dryad

[72moonglum]

Hello there fine followers of the fine Reaper faith and Happy Fourth of July for those in Gringolandia!

 

So here is my Shadowrun Dryad, made by Ral Partha, probably sculpted by Jim Johnson in 1996 if you choose to believe the bottom of the base, and I do.

 

I did her the same time I did the Night Elf I also just recently posted, but one of the eyes on this green haired chicky poo, I just couldn't get it like I wanted to, so I went back and redid the eye, and I still didn't like it, so this is the third version, which I'm also not super duper satisfied with, but there comes a point when I just give up to move to the next small piece of metal.

 

So here she is:

 

 

and here is a close up of her eyes.  Her left one hs that spoke that I just didn't get closed properly.  From really close it's very noticeable, but only kind of noticeable from afar and I really couldn't tell with the actual figure, only with the zoom of modern technology.  I never had these issues back in the eighties.

 

Anyway, I like some of these Shadowrun figures, because besides being just generally cool, they kind of cross two genres.  This one and the other night elf, could easily be fantasy figures, nothing really would orient them to actual science fiction.

 

So back to the painting table!  Enjoy your Independence Day, or in the rest of the world, Saturday!

Thank you Chaoswolf! Good or not, got tired of fighting with a few millimeters of real estate and called it done.

Her face looks great, and I like the subdued green hair.

 

"Chicky-poo" is a term I have not heard in a very long time....

As good or as bad as Chicky-poo is for a term describing one of the female gender, I just can't stop using it.  Please don't hate me ladies!

Thanks Iridil! With what I read of Shadowrun dryads, their hair color changes with the turning of the seasons like the leaves. I figured green springy colors and some matching eye shadow!
