fairy to the rescue
This came about after trying to figure out what to do with this fairy's hand. It just seemed an odd pose to me and in need of somehing more. At first I was going to have her playing with a yo-yo (still might do that on another one) but it did seem fiddly.... well worse than making the teeny ladybug at any rate. The beetle is from the reaper warlord familiars and was fun to paint. The fairy has nearly converted me to painting nothing but heavily armoured characters with full helmet and visors Did I mention that I hate painting eyes? The leaf is created from polymer clay, i just pressed a real leaf into the top to get all the veins and textures and then trimmer around it, and green stuff to fill in the gaps between her base and leaf and smooth it all out. Yay! my first elimination of Reaper broccoli bases. I wanted the whole thing to have a real life size look to it, as in this is not a miniature of a fairy, it's a real life size scene, and I think it has worked really well. oh she's just swooped down to rescue the ladybug from the beetle in case you didn't get it...
