Several times during the course of painting this I had to check that I didn't miss anything, there was alot of fine detail on this sculpt. I still have no idea what that dangly bit on her right shoulder is supposed to be, I painted it as a purity seal type of deal since she looks pretty Empirical with the colors I chose to paint her in, I thought it was fitting.

Oh, wow, this is highly impressive! How long did it take you? You should enter her in the contest! (Wait, then I won't have a chance of winning! LOL!) Seriously, if you can, enter her in!

Yes, she does look extremely detailed. I love the muted coloring, too. I can never seem to manage that, for some reason. The freehand is absolutely amazing. I am always blown away by incredible freehand, because I have tried it, and I know it is very difficult. You seem to have mastered it, though, as well as beautiful metallics, and overall great style. Fantastic work! Thanks so much for sharing!

Wow! That is how to describe this. The entire paintjob is really amazing, but what blows me away is the freehand on the cloak. Simply breathtaking. Your painting style reminds me quite a bit of YellowOne from CMON.

Love it. The reflection off the underside of the blade near the hilt comes off a bit odd, however. That's just being picky, though. Otherwise, her details are really cool.

Beautiful! Love the crisp nmm and the subtle freehand details. Did you use pearl freehand on the inside of the cloak or is that a trick of the light? Regardless nice work on the slightly-lighter tonal freehand.

Later,
Laszlo

Take care,
Laszlo

That is absolutely amazing! The colours work great together and the details are perfect. The freehand on the inside of the cloak is just stunning :)

Hi, thanks guys

Mamageek, Thank you. I hit right around the 30 hour mark on this one. Typical for my snail like pace, but I spread those hours over the course of a 7 day week so little by little I eventually get something finished.

Mercius, Shakandara, MaGie Thank you

Hot Lead, Thank you. The highlights there on the inside of the cloak are just a trick of the paintwork, only concentrating the hottest pure white in a tight area to make it look sort of silky or satiny.

Very nicely painted! I can't wait until I have time to paint like this again! ::):


The freehand is very well done.

This is exquisite! There certainly are lots of details and such, and you managed to pick them all out. Your colors work very well together and the freehand is gorgeous!

I just bought this mini, now I think I will box it up and send it back. J/K, this is a fantastic job. Excellent color choices in my opinion.

Righteous work Sean. This is a great sculpt by WK... Your version is wicked nice! It sadly reminds me of what the Reaper line has been missing over the past year or so. Paint work is superb. Love the FH on the cloak too.

All around solid. Man, I remember converting this one back in 2009 when this bad girl was first released. Gave her a sword in her right hand.

Very nice DS. There is quite a lot going on with that mini, you pulled it all together very nicely. Oh, and the freehand is fab. :)

It's great to see you active and posting again.

Gorgeous job. The cloak is fantastic.
