Beach Baby Libby

This sculpt was one of Kevin White's winner's in FU-UK's 'Female miniatures... that women would buy' contest. And I consider it a deserved win, since I've picked up two copies of this and his Miranda, one each in the FU-UK winners pack, and another each singly. Kevin has done a wonderful job here of a curvy, fleshy woman that's both idealized and accurate. There's also a sense of insouciance to the pose that I really like. I painted this figure over two days (virtually a speed record for me) to enter into the Hasslefree painting contest at Fozzbozz Trading Company. Head over and check out fatgoblin's winning entry, it's very nice! I think this is the most fun I ever had painting. I painted purely to suit myself and my husband, who really likes this figure too. Our favourite colour is green, and he has a fondness for redheads. I'm not sure if I should have gone with flowers or something else on the towel, but I wanted to keep the woman the curviest thing in the scene. :-> Any comments you might have are very welcome - I've got another of these to paint yet!

superb skin tones, simple yet very fitting base as well. it finishes the model beautifully. the hair is good, but not as good as your more recent submissions. (always good to see people improving :) )
