Nice! She is on my painting table right now, playing the part of Isolde for my Arthurian project. Again, great minds... 
Too funny! The Blue Lady has lots of poise, perfect for the feminine ideal of Arthurian legend.
Haven't gotten around to it earlier, but figured I'd just chime in with the praise here! While paintjobs and bases are rather basic, they're more than table-top worthy and all very neat. Add to that the fact that you're painting minis that I myself own and look forward to painting only sweetens the offering further! =)
Thank you phreedh! It is neat seeing different interpretations of the same figure. I'm always enchanted to see how the character of the minis can change with the varied color choices and techniques of individual artists.
Our level is a tad over tabletop; I have to credit my husband Teshub's courage for letting me take and post close-ups of his work on these ladies. We both agreed it would be a bit boring for the viewers over the course of the month if I used my usual focal distance (I think that's the right term, I'm still reading up on a lot of photography). Some are destined for the greatness of being a main character, while others will be setting and atmosphere. They are all painted to be moved and look good on game night. Even the dead ones.
Most of all, I'm impressed with your perseverance! Keep on trucking!
Thanks! The day-after-day consistency has felt great on our end! It's not that we've never done a large-ish number before, but the theme and thus the variety of figures keeps Teshub fresh on this project.
I'm glad to see that this thread is continuing. The brushwork on these keeps getting better and better with each new Lady.
Hi OLeary! Thanks! Teshub used a few washes on the cultist; again it's the uniqueness of the figures that lets him throw fear out the window and practice painting with a different toolset.
The Holy Babe turned out GREAT! Her several-sandwiches-shy-of-a-picnic expression is prefect for her calling; AND you do a SPLENDID job with your browns. TERRIFIC WORK!
She'd one of the Cthuhlu minis from RAFM that show three stages of the descent into madness...I bet you can guess her stage.
Thanks DeafNala! I couldn't believe Teshub painted a new shade of brown! I and our players often point out all the browns on the table, then watch some good period piece, or take a walk outside and notice that there are a lot of browns in the world. It cracks me up now when he'll lean over with a mini and ask me what I think for a color to match this-or-that, and I reply, "Um, brown!"
Good to know our most recent lady's heritage. I'm starting to remember less and less of our mini acquisitions from that decade. Mostly because my brain is now storing all the info on modern manufacturers of long-ago figures.
Glad you're all still enjoying our Challenge!
