Eliveva ( Anwyn ) the Bard

[AkhRa]

Hi guys, this is one of the latest I\'ve painted.
It was a very special model since I\'ve painted this as a present for my girlfriend so I wanted to create a kind of avatar of herself. I painted this version of Anwyn to look like my GF.
The colors of the dress (white and red) remind the national color of my girlfriend that is Polish.
The inspiration for this miniature came from the amazing version of Anwyn painted by Wren
I really enjoyed myself to paint such a tiny miniature.
A special thank to a friend of mine, AND who sculpted the frog for me.

Thank you for your comments.

Thank you.
For the water I\'ve used a water effect (2-part resin). Almost all the stones under the water level are painted using green tones.

Very nice- great work on the whites! She is little, isn\'t she? I painted the same mini at Essen, it was fiddly!

Yes Amazon Warrior... this model is very tiny. Quite smaller than the classical GW miniatures.

BTW, here you can see a little (low quality) video of this model: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_bIwZYW7Wk

Very nice! Are the stones under the water actually stones or are they just painted onto the base?

Great looking figure, love how clean the water looks

Under the water level there is only one stone, the one on the extreme right (in the first picture). The other are totally painted since I wanted to create an effect of deeper water.

love it! she\'s georgeous, I love the crispness of the coulours, particularly the red clothing and the hair. My only quip is the black strap over her bottom - it looks like it could do with a more obvious highlight given it\'s angle and how brightly the red of her bottom is highlighted. Lovely model, I hope she\'s pleased with it!

This is a lovely model - with an equally lovely paint job. I like the inclusion of the water - not over the top, so the figure still stands out.
I would think you\'re GF will love it.
Btw - I like the frog - and the smile on it\'s face.
