Best Female Faces 25-32mm

[frogimus]

I just finished painting a Bob Ridolfi sculpt. Her face nearly painted itself, the details were so well sculpted. Cheekbones, eyes, jawline - they were all well defined without being overly sharp so it was easy to get a soft layering of the shadows and highlights. It had to be one of the best paint jobs I've ever done on a face, and I suck at painting faces.

What sculptors do you like for female faces?

Tim Richards - for his Mascot Models range - definitely NSFW.

Any pictures?

Anyway, I love well-sculpted faces, male or female. They make such a huge difference to a model. recently painted this Axe Faction beauty.



Overall, I think Julie Guthrie does a great job with faces in general. Gael Goumon too.

Anything Kev White.

I'm admiring Statuesque too, but I've yet to paint the ones I've acquired.

[Blackwolf]

For me, the big three are; Andrew Rae,Tre Manor and Kevin White. Seb Archer is pretty good too.

[Captain Blood]

Copplestone. Every time.

My macro setting is being as fussy as my ex wife, so they didn't turn out so well. I'll try again soon.

I like Julie's minis too. Not sure if I have any Gael ones.

Well, here's a shot of the Reaper Female Scientist sculpted by Ridolfi. Hopefully it imbeds since Picasa is a headache after switching to G+ photos.


The green eyes didn't photograph too well

Werner Klocke too:

I hope this won't be taken as pissing on someone else's preference, but Klocke's faces really turn me off his minis. While Werner has a few good faces, a lot of time I find his faces have this sort of "alien triangular" look, both men and women that drives me bananas.

[frogimus]

I agree. Werner's faces aren't what earned the name "Klockenbooty". Not that they're ugly, just a bit wide in the forehead. It does make them distinctive.

BTW, has anyone seen Patrick Keith's line of Bombshell Babes at www.bombshellminis.com ?

[FramFramson]

You know, credit where it's due. Ali and Mike McVey have some very nice faces as well, both male and female.

As do some of the Privateer press sculptors, but I don't know who sculpted what in that line.

Yep - the Khador Widowmaker sniper figure, albeit with an eyepatch, is finely sculpted.
