CyAniDe yes it is higher standard then my normal play minis since it will be a gift in a secret santa thing... but still not as much time that i would put on a competition figure, i guess that this is around 5 hours of painting per figure and 30 to 60 min for the base.
The base is made up from small stones and flower earth for the base, the leaves are bought birch autum leaves that i have just put on the ground. The "flowers" on the ground are seed capsels that i gathered up at the end of this summer, just removed them oone by one and painted them.
I also like the purple a lot, very happy how it turned out. I have used oil colours for the purple and the rest is acrylics.
