03506 Human Druid Egyptian - "damned baboon stole my tiara and ran away!"

[The Golem]

Hi everybody. Since I recently joined the Reaper forum, I thought I might as well share one of my latest painted minis.

 

The original model: https://www.reapermini.com/search/03506

 

 

I have chosen this mini to represent a wizard apprentice in an egyptian version of Frostgrave. Since she is 'only' an apprentice, I wanted her to look a little less important, which is why I cut off the tiara. Unfortunately the little baboon that was included hasn't been painted as I have no use for him... yet.

 

 

Hope you like it. Have a nice day everybody!

Wow! Really well done the skin tones and shading and highlights on the skin are great!  The whole piece looks so smooth.

Welcome!  Please share more, you have impressive skill.  I love the ankh, and the dusty effect on the skirt.

Awesome work, I love the reflection on her hair and the nmm.

The fact that you removed her headdress changes the model and makes her more relaxed, I think it help bring the focus to her face.

Welcome to the forum.

Gorgeous skin tone! Really like the white of her skirt and how you brought the sand up the hem!

Excellent conversion; wouldn't have believed she came with a tiara if I didn't already know! Great paint job too. 

You'll find something for that baboon to do sooner or later...

What wizard doesn't need a familiar?
 

Beautifully done all around. Skin tones are perfect.

She looks amazing; very nice paint job!

Great palette choices. The highlights look perfect, you knocked the GOLD right out of the park! Excellent work!

Great work, what colors did you use for her skintones?

Thanks. I used Citadel colors:

• Ratskin Flesh
• Reikland Fleshshade
• Bestigor Flesh
• Ungor Flesh
• Probably a bit of Pallid Wych Flesh in the mix for the last highlights.

She looks fantastic! Great job on the modification.

 

Out of curiosity, where did you get the Egyptian terrain pieces? I'm putting together terrain for Call of Cthulhu and would love more Egypt-themed items.

The egyptian dungeon tiles are made by Lunesdargent Workshop, a canadian company. Originally they were casting those in some kind of sandstone but they stopped since it wasn't profitable (I think? It's been a while). I don't think they are selling those sandstone tiles anymore. However the tiles are also available as digital files for 3D printing: https://lunesdargentworkshop.com/shop/openlock-3d-files/

 

The braziers were originally from Dark Fable Miniatures. Now they can be found on Dragon Bait Miniatures: https://www.dragon-bait-minis.com/dark-fable-miniatures/
