Thanks !

The mini is completed, here's the pics of it :




In some Heroscape custom nordic tiles (I still have to make some nordic snow trees, now that I found a cheap, sturdy and reasonably good snow technic) :






I have to build these photo light boxes, because with light, the pics are too bright and saturated, without light, the pics are too dark. Even if my hobby lights are pretty good (mix of 2 cold and daylight bulbs).  So the real thing is a bit between the 2 series of photos  lol


This mini has been a good "study" figure. I learned a few new technics (even if they are not perfect) :

"red-ish" carnation, instead of my usual taned skin
snow base


And I also progressed in learned how to paint clothes and uniforms a bit more dark/realistic fantasy (like in games of thrones tv show, or the old Chronopia artworks).

BEAUTIFULLY DONE! You have a flair for the subtle tones that are presently tres chic...classy brushwork like yours never goes out of style.

You really paint beautifully mate. Her flesh is fantastic! I agree the MM minis were wonderful.

Thank you a lot !  I appreciate the comment on the flesh, it was the hardest part of the painting job, even if it's not perfect. Still learning after more than 15years !

That girl's face is fantastic! She has such a healthy glow to her.

All-over wonderful shading on her!

Looks great, that set of figures were always one of my favorites.
