This is Agáta Vicárius, a character in our Solomon Kane game. It's really my first attempt at a "little more than minor, but not quite major" conversion. I swapped out her weapons on both hands and sculpted a shirt for her (she originally had a bare midriff). Lesson learned: rough conversions = rough painting surface. Practice, practice, practice...

WOW! That is a fantastic paintjob, I would never be able to tell you converted anything, so great job. The blue overcoat makes me weep when I look at my last attempt at blues lol.

Great conversion and paint job. I think the blues could use a few glazes to soften the transitions. I'm really digging the hair, great job there. I don't like the red pouch though. To me it doesn't seem to mesh with your other colors.

Thanks! Her pouch is actually dark brown with orangey brown highlights, but it does look pretty red here. Not quite sure why that is...

I like the conversions a lot. I think the shirt bottom has a convincing cloth flow look to it. The painting is very nice too!

Fantastic job! If you hadn't mentioned the conversion and sculpting, I never would have know. Impressive paint too!

"Oooh!" (That's exactly what I said when I first saw this mini.)
I don't think I've ever seen one painted in a similar painting style. It's very original, and really catches your eye. The high contrast is fantastic, the detailing is right-on, and the cloak, oh my, the cloak! Really a super job!

Beautiful piece, well sculpted. Great job on the boots.

I like your interpretation of this mini. Well done. Even though you explained the satchel bag not being red, I think it looks good even if it were really red. I think it adds to the over all scheme by giving you something else to flow to while going down the cloak. Excellent work.
