Its been 6 months, almost to the day, since I\'ve painted anything.

This is my spring break and I decided to take full advantage of it.

SO!

Without further ado...the flower fairy!

Yeah I hear Spring Break isn\'t what it used to be down there. Not that I ever participated in the \"used to be\" era.

Cool idea painting the head as the bloom, and great execution. The eyes are great! The flower pot and dirt on the legs is a wonderful touch.

Something about the body bothers me though, especially in the front view. I think some of the contrast must have gotten eaten by the photo because it looks flatter in color from that angle than others. It also looks like your black background is eating away the the mini in places. Or are those parts painted black?

Looks good! ...and I love those eyes!

 

[ipaintminis]

the mini is actually painted a very very dark green there.

I was really working on trying to get the highlights high and lowlights low.

She\'s also extremely curvaceous, which is the black in the hip area.

Nicely done. Did the vote thing.

Welcome back IPM!

Pretty, unusual, refreshing...

Oh yeah, the mini is not bad either

 

[airhead]

this one might have worked better on a brighter background.

Welcome back.

6 months, huh? Well, you\'re not showing any \"rust\".

Definitely a great looking mini; love those eyes (how in the hell do people do that?!) and the transitions look nice and smooth. Very nice. Voted.

V&C\'d.

A pleasure. A really nice piece.
