This was painted for the Dark Sword Miniatures web site. (Here's a look at the studio photographs.) This was quite a challenge for me on a number of levels. To start, this was the first time I tried to paint to follow artwork as closely as possible. I worked some of the same colour used on the hair into the skin shading to try to capture some of that sunset glow from the painting. The sculpt itself was challenging as it includes a lot of tiny buckles and straps and other detailing, but it helped that these were so cleanly sculpted. Freehanding in the stocking pattern was also quite a challenge, though there I think the main problem was just figuring out how to most effectively lay out a grid of dots to connect. It helped a lot to follow eastman's advice to use watercolour paints, being able to 'erase' things made it much less stress than it would have been otherwise.

Oooh a DS mini - they are hardly to paint as Vhaidra already has shown to me. Very Nice.

The skin looks great. Glad that the watercolor techniques worked out for you (I know I'm glad I learned it from the garage kit painters).

The rating shows that people don't know what they do. It would be very kind if someone who doesn't know a sculpt would rather don't rate than this way. Great paintjob on a very small and fine sculpt. There are not many painter out there who could do it so smooth and clean like you did. Definitly one of my favorite paintjobs from you.

Well executed - love her smirk! I would probably call her a Kiss groupie rather than a Goth, though.
