Siobhana, Vampire Noble (03150)

[Rigel]

Siobhana (03150) is one hell of a femme fatale in the Morticia Addams line. Zaftig and haughty, scornful and entitled. I wish I had gotten better lighting; her pale skin isn't great at showing contrast,
She comes with a half-broken pillar of some solar celestial (a Pathfinder relic? it looks like it would fit with their iconic Cleric) and also a batlike grotesque. I think the Vorvorlaka (77631) represents another stage in that  gargoyle vargouille life cycle. The sexy vampire lady and the horrible batlike monstrosities make for a good Hammer Horror aesthetic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Further experiments with tight-clinging fabrics. Please give me your tips and constructive criticism; I feel sure I can do better with sheer fabrics but am not sure what to focus on. C&C welcome!

Good job!

I like it.

 

As for sheer.

Really like the effect with her dress - yet another great setting!

[Chaoswolf]

Very cool!

I like the colors you went with for painting her; green isn't one of the 'typical' colors that springs to mind.

Thank you!

I appreciate it, and it's going to get better the next go-around!

Thanks! Partly I was inspired by the Gaelic flavor of her name, and partly it was just she needed to be visually distinct from Jahenna here, who also has really good straight hair and a slinky clingy dress. Maybe there's some influence from the Lady of the Green Kirtle from "The Silver Chair"; I could see that, in retrospect.

A tip that I've found helps me a lot with sheer fabrics -- paint all the skin tones on the mini first as though the cloth isn't there at all.  Then go back and paint fabric. Example below behind spoiler tag due to NSFW.  Compare dress of figure on left to stockings of figure on far right.  Center figure has no sheer fabric.  My experience has been that the stronger your highlighting and shading is, with clearly defined light direction, the better the effect looks.  Reel sheer cloth works when light goes through and is reflected by the skin underneath.  If there is no light hitting the surface, so there is limited sheer effect, so the skin doesn't show through in shadow areas.  I hope this helps.  I look forward to seeing more of your work.
