This fantastically sculpted Female Necromancer by Bob Ridolfi is layered in an unearthly pale hue reminiscent of Lady Death with a piercing luminous gaze. I started with a base coat of gray Rustoleum primer which is darker than Floquil. The skin was then highlighted up using Reaper MSP Twilight Blue, Polished Bone up to Pure White. The back of her cloak fetures a pattern of freehand painted skulls and the base is illuminated by a painted on source light of flowing lava. This is my first attempt at on-source lighting for the lava stuff.
Rating: 8 This is the best one of these that I've seen so far. The monochomatic scheme reminds me of the Michael Whelan covers for the Ballantine HP Lovecraft books from the 1980's.
Rating: 9 The lava is simply too yellow. Red where it is cool at the edges, and orange where it is hotter. Enough nitpicking though, you've done a beautiful job with this mini, it just feels right.
Thanks folks! She has gone to live with a wonderful collector in Italy.
