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!
