I always wanted to do this so here goes!!!

Here's the base coats

Here's the test on the foot to see if I like it

AND? Did it pass muster? Sticking with it or trying something different? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

Interesting. I like the palette.

One of the best female sculpts GW has (had?) in their range...Still have her around somewhere too. Maybe one day I'm brave like you to paint her and give justice to this sculpt.

It's looking like a good start. Thumbs up! And good luck with your next step. What's your aim? Over the edge hyper reflecting NMM?

Furthermore I'm quite interested what you make with the flowers on her sword, in my opinion they are the detail point that set the mood for this piece so plz don't neglect it!

 

[Tommie Soule]

I pushed on with the leg

 

[EpicMiniArt]

geeze, that gold looks fantastic. You going be doing a tour down to Cornwall at any point?

 

[oistene]

... That looks like the start of something real nice!

 

[moetle]

Yep looks great! You gonna explain how you did that Tommie?

 

[Zab]

Interesting. I'm beginning to come around to The Lady Inquisitor's "suggestion" to vacation in the UK this summer...

 

[Tommie Soule]

Got the upper thigh done.

Still I think i need to tweak some bits here and there before I finish it and do a tutorial

legend mate, NNM is useful for not just metal but any high reflective surface, its something I could do with practicing a lot more

Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Which paint are you using for the highlight? Dwarf flesh or Rakarth flesh?

 

[crystella333]

This is something I've been dying to see done on this model. Can't wait to see her fully done

looks like bonewhite mixed with the snakebite leather to me for the gold. the base colours are used elsewhere on the models

 

[Tommie Soule]

I got the next leg half done now.
You may also have noticed the feet are different. This is because i was undecided about the first foot i did and i think the second foot wins.
What do you think?

 

[OffTheSprue]

Nice work there tommie, ill have to pop into the studio sometime.

 

[Zab]

New leg is more contrasty and defined. The original is still nice, but a softer kind of reflection. Your palette for the base could effect which you choose given what you want to portray as the lighting situation on the armour. I think the softer one would work with a desert type theme, but the other would work well with cool ones like urban or forest.

 

[Persifal]

As I wrote on the facebook, new leg looks like more polished.
