hello again, this is a miniature I painted as a step-by-step article for the Spanish miniature magazine Gamerforces - the article appears in issue 5. I actually painted the mini a few months ago, back in August 06.

There are some really amazing versions of Viraë out there - the magnificent versions painted by poupee canope and cheeba are especially memorable, as well as the offical rackham one - so it was a bit tricky to try to create something original with the colours, when those other versions are so influential! But I tried to move in my own directions with the colour scheme and atmosphere as much as I could, while still showing some of these outside influences.

She really was a great figure to paint though, so enjoyable...it's been a long time since I have painted a female miniature! I tried to make her a bit more lively and colourful...not so sombre as is usually my habit

There are some larger, better quality photos, with more angles, on my website, if you're interested - and a small write-up about the colours and techniques used also.

Well, I hope you enjoy her!

One of the best female skin colour I never seen. The rest is also nice... you play with a lot of differents colour without being like a "rainbow" !

This is eyecandy, also paintingwise.. I really like the skintone and the work on the tabbard, not to mention the green armour which is absolutely fantastic. The base is also interesting, not too over the top imo, even though it is quite complicated.. The only part which is somewhat "boring" are the horns. Somehow they seem flat, lifeless. Otherwise this is a great job on a great mini. An absolute 10 I must say.
