Excellent paintwork! I really like the gradient effect on the wings!

Nostalgia. I liked her better when she WAS the bug, rather than just riding one. Also miss her hubby Orion, who's apparently deceased more or less permanently in the revisionist fairyland called Age of Sigmar.

Thank you. I feel that these old sculpts had much more charisma and charme than the new stuff that they are producing. Surely they are technically better, but hold no charm to me. Just like their revisionist heretic new stuff. I keep my 4ed close to my heart (and my gaming table)

I agree, the old sculpts are more alive or organic and not so sterile as the new ones (I like the new ones too, but not as much as the old ones).
The paintjob is super, thank you for sharing!

This is wonderful. I love the blending on the wings. She's still in my lead pile, but this is good inspiration for painting her up.

It's funny, I was much more of a snob in my teens than I am now, and the Gary Morley wood elves were the beginning of the end for me, in terms of following new GW models with any inclination to buy them. It was about this time I started realizing how much better the figures (and superior the studio painting) were in the first issue of White Dwarf I picked up (133 IRC) and earlier. For the rank and file elves, I was puzzled how they could release the 90s wood elves to replace the Goodwin ones. I had nothing but disdain for Ariel, here. But, I've softened in my old age enough to appreciate your great paint job here and even see some pleasing bits in the sculpt, even if--in terms of the sculpt--the whole falls short of the sum of the parts. The expression you've captured, the owl, the wings, the base... many things to appreciate.

Thanks, I too still think that Jes Goodwin's are THE wood elves: Gary Morley did a great job on many High Elves figures, but Jes' woodies are not replaceable. Still I liked this figure and her hubby (which I painted in the past and I might strip and redo now that I have improved a bit9. I tried to give her this expression like "Impudent fools, how dare you invade my realm"...

I really like the shading on the wings, too. Something about red that says - “fair warning...”
Don’t recall if I have this fig, but I have a bunch of the foot warriors from the early years. Time to dig out the elves.
This past week I sorted through all my orcs - came up with 80 from the mid ‘80s, so I got that going for me. Character, individuality, and style from ‘85-‘87 is classic, most everything since has been... meh.
