Female Vampire - Bronze at GDLA 2008

This was a fun mini to paint. I love the sculpt (with the exception of the face). I tried painting some reflections in the NMM, such as the reflection of the flowers in the blade. You can also see some more subtle reflections like the hand on the inside of the sword handle, and on the daggers. This was also an experiment in painting fabric textures. The blue fabric is a horizontal pattern, and the tan fabric is a diagonal-cross pattern. I painted the gold trim to resemble embroidery. Overall this was a great learning experience and I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Comments/Critique is always welcome. I make sure to return the favor. :) I am very honored to say that this won a bronze award at Games Day LA 2008! The competition was very rough and kudos to everyone's beautiful entries!

The NMM and the reflections on the sword are really great! The Gold-NMM is a little bit to green in my opinion. Still 10 points and congratulations on your Bronze Demon!

Well shes undead. She doesn't have to be beautiful anymore. :) Really love the dress. I looks so realistic. Other thing that made me say "Ow-Wow" is that reflection of the flowers on the NMM sword surface...how sweet is that!
