I hate drill bits, but I love Sisters of Battle

[Jericho]

<p>Yep, I've broken 5 bloody drill bits in about 10 days I reckon. I've pretty much reduced myself to a handful of drill bits the width of a human hair, and another handful that are way too big to be useful. Lovely huh? Oh, and I've got several throbbing puncture wounds in my left hand as well. The last one dug in about 8mm I would imagine. I do have&nbsp;a pic to show off though, my alt color scheme Canoness. The HQ will have the all-metal look to them, and if I get super lazy then all the rank and file will get this color scheme as well. It'll take a fraction of the time if I do it that way.</p><p><img title="Sisters0010.jpg" height="300" alt="Sisters0010.jpg" src="http://blog.coolminiornot.com/image.php?id=40467874" width="450" border="1" /></p><p><img title="Sisters0011.jpg" height="345" alt="Sisters0011.jpg" src="http://blog.coolminiornot.com/image.php?id=71252661" width="450" border="1" /></p><p>The damnable shine of P3 paints makes the cloak look like ass, but it's really quite nice and subtle in person. It's a blend of black, brown and Coal Black, mixed up to pure Coal Black and then a final sparse bit of hilighting with a bit of Bone mixed in. I think it'll do for black leather on my army.</p>

Good colors, not so sure about her face, looks kinda "thick" and somewhat "out of focus". Not sure how it could be with the rest of the mini in clearly in focus.
I actually kinda like this cloak. I saw yesterday a person in a real black velvet robe; graduation time, all old faculty put on their $1000 robes. Well, it reflects almost like metal with many almost white highlights and a lot of shine.

Heh, well the face isn't finished, I mixed up a basecoat that I liked and my friend Tom promptly kicked me out of his basement so he could get some sleep. It still needs all the hilights and shades, plus the eyes, mouth, etc. You're probably right about robes (or leather) reflecting a lof of light though. I just hate how much shine I get with WIP shots using P3 paints. Makes it harder to see the color underneath.
