Female Huckster was such a cool little mini that I wanted to get two copies painted up. I had a few ideas of how I wanted her to look so I couldn't just do one.

There's a more or less "Celtic Lass" version with the green (at least that's my intention, she could be well...anything you want her to be... really) and then there's the Blonde with the purple dress, just a femme fatale with her little gun in her garter. Love that little touch on this sculpt.

She had a very "Disneyesque" face, which surprises me that word isn't underlined in red by my browser...anyway I wanted to give her nice big eyes to suit that look of the sculpt. Really fun to paint. As a side note about bases, I think from now on I'm just going to buy my bases from various base makers and paint those up as I spend far, FAR too much time making mine from scratch always to be underwhelmed by them. As my painting skills slowly (glacially) improve my base-fu isn't catching up even though I put more effort into them. I bet I can paint the pre-made resin bases and base inserts up like a devil though, which will finally complement all the time I spend on these minis instead of looking so half hearted. Nowadays (yall) we're spoiled for choice with so many awesome bases from different makers, may as well just invest in a bunch and start using those. Maybe Reaper should make some hrmmm.....

Fantastic work. I like the boots and the lace on the first. The purple and pink mix very nice.
I like the mirror hand they have. My favourite will be the second one the freehand on her dress is awsome.

I all too often will buy two copies of a great model I would like to paint in two schemes. I'm glad I'm not alone.

Impressive how you can use similar colors but just by changing the highlights make everything look like different fabrics.

Beautiful! I love the free hand. Looks like thick, rich velvet.
I've been buying a lot of pre-made bases too. There are a lot of nice ones out there now.

Sculpts are so-so, but that paint slingin' is SWEET man...

I like this two version theme you've got going Sean.

Keep 'em comin' bro-ham.

Thanks guys I'm glad you like 'em, yeah working on two versions is interesting and fun. These days I get more ideas than I have time for the way I want certain minis to end up looking so this helps get those creative juices all spilling out for sure.

Thing is I have at least 2 other ways I could paint this one mini that I can think of, probably more to be honest! I may one day try my hand at painting four versions of a mini and see how that goes, certain minis I can think of that really have endless possibilities, endless I say!

Good grief, but that fabric patterning is amazing! I think this is inspiring me to go back and put a little more work into a few figures. :D (Not that I think I can possibly make them look like THIS, but I can at least be inspired!)
