Recent Figure - Goth Fighter Mage

I keep forgetting to load up some of my more recent figures. This is the second-to-last figure that I completed. I'm quite proud of her - the pressure was on to do justice to such a cool fig.
Foolishly, I did all the shading on her skin first (I usually do skin last, so that I can touch up any paint spillover from blacklining or other colours), so I had to be totally careful when painting the rest to get it right. I like the shading on the cloak and the horn thing on her shoulder/arm armour.

A view of the back:
Hee hee, there's her bum. I've seen a photo of this fig painted by someone else where she has a spider web "tattoo" on her back - I found out later that it was a decal. Not painted! Outrageous.

Anyway, I really like this piece. It's quite the outfit she has on - it's almost like one of Edyta's from "Dancing With the Stars", haha.

    I'd paint that one but my wife would probably give me the hairy eyeball. I'd give too much attention to her bum.

    Nice job on the red cloak - red is one of the toughest colours to shade without it getting 'pink.'

    Hey, you can click the pics to zoom in now - awesome!

  4. Ha! I like painting female figures - I am pretty much guaranteed to buy a fig if it's a girl.

    Thanks! I like doing fabric.

    Yeah, I noticed that - tip: don't click on any pics of me!

    1. Thank you! I think she was a Ral Partha figure from around 2006.
