thanx Becca, i\'m happy you like it and i\'m really looking forward to seeing your version!

the other eye is not shaded, but the light could not reach it so it seems painetd black while it is not :p

thanx again for your comment!

Nice job I think the cloak looks great, maybe a slightly lighter highlight on the nose, cheeks and around the lower jaw would just finish it off. That is one cool base you have made there as well.lol:D

The base is pretty easy to achieve:

just some cork pieces as stones, some sand and static grass, than some white glue slightly diluited and mixed with white. When the glue is dry, a light azure wash, then a brown one... and that\'s what you get!

I think you have excellent colour choices that really pull the miniature together cohesively.

The only criticism I might have is that there\'s a spot in the middle of the cloak, right on a indention/fold, that looks like it could be blended more smoothly. But that\'s a nitpick.

Definitely a quality job, though. Bravo.

ey...luca...

im doing that same mini now and cannot, for the life of me, figure out whats on her arms, above the bracers, did i miss flash, is that part of the bracers?

its driving me insane!

well that\'s my personal interpretation:

on the right arm, coming down from the shoulder, there is: armour-->blouse-->bracer(with the round things)-->another part of bracer-->scimitar hilt and fingers holding it

on the left there is: armour-->blouse-->bracer-->bracer again-->a strange thing that i reckon as the distal end of the blouse under the bracer-->hand and dagger hilt

am i wrong?

one good turn deserves another

Hi Luca,

Thanks for the comments on my stuff, now it\'s my turn to return the favour.

Really nice work there, the base as others have said, is particularly good.

Allowing for the fact that photo\'s always differ from the actual model:

1) I think a slightly darker shade in the creases of the face would have helped to bring out some definition

2) On the inside of the cloak I might have been tempted to use a different colour or different shade to that on the outside

3) On the blade in her left hand (the blades look great by the way) near the tip it looks as if it goes from that cool icy effect into metal. Is that intended? If so I\'ll shut up :innocent: Or maybe that\'s just the way it came out on the picture.

Really nice job, you should be pleased with her

BTW which colours did you use for the brown on the legs?

first of all, thanx for commenting!

now i\'ll answer your questions:
1) unfortunately pic didn\'t come out too well, so the mini is slightly different in real life: the face has a darker shade but it\'s not recognizable in the pic :(

2) i thought about it but i decided to use the same colour because i didn\'t want to use too many, and i already used browns and greys

3)yes, it\'s the way it came out

4) i used gw scorched brown, washed with black and highlighted with gw bestial brown on the armour and gw kommando kakhi (spelling?) washed with black and brown and then highlighted again with the same colour

Thanx again!

Is that Sarah Jessica Parker? Weird stuff.
Mmh, I don\'t like the base. It looks gluey and muddy. But I like the swords and the kneecaps ...and the fact that it looks like SJP.
