Sheila Figs - Wizard Chick with Book Stand

It's been a couple of months since I did any painting - doesn't help that it's football season, which kind of takes away some of my Sunday recreational/hobby time.

I was so happy to get this figure; I really like painting women figures, and I wanted to do something really cool with her cloak. I decided to do a "disco" theme for her, so went flashy with the colours and ornamentation on her.

Here she is, ready to primer, all the flash and edges filed down. Primered! Now I can really see the detail and start thinking about colours.
Skin has been done, as well as the base colour for the book's pages.
The first colour. Originally, I was going to do a more silvery cloak, but I found the grey just too dull, so I painted over it later.
Getting the darker colours in the creases and lightening up for highlights.
Disco cloak! I really like how this turned out. As you can see by her arm, I'm not really very careful about the other colours - it's easy to just paint over and clean up - until I start working on the highlights and lowlights.The cloak is done, now for the rest of the colours. Hair, base metal colour.

Lots of work on the book and stand. Yes, the stand is made of skulls. Ooh, scary!
And after a few hours' work yesterday, voila! Details done: eyes, skin shading, silver highlights on the metal, bases, blacklining and words on the books pages. The intent is that her dagger is causing this book's page (obviously it's some evil magic book) to blacken.

A shot of the back.

I'm pleased with this figure, but it's not one of my best. I like the cloak the best - it's very "Fantasia" and was fun to experiment with.

Sheila Figs - Finished Evil Elf (Drow) Fighter Chick

A single small figure is such a relief after that bloody Pit Fiend. This is a female evil elf (called a Drow).

I forgot to take a picture of her unprimered, but here she is with just primer and skin painted.
Base black colour for her hair (which will be silver) and the 3 tones of blue for her armour and clothing.
And *voila!* like magic, after 6 hours, she's done. Highlighting done on everything: skin, armour, clothing. Eyes done, and details finished (note the spider on the base).
I gave her armour a bit of a sparkle - I decided it was magical. A shot of the back and her long silvery hair.
Not so practical for fighting, but it means I don't have to paint much on her back which is fine by me!

SL Garrity is the name of the person who created the original figure. She (her name is Susan, I believe) does a lot of female figures, which are my favourite.

Hope you enjoyed the new figs!

L Figure - Knight Chick with Unicorn Shield

L finished this early last week, and I forgot to photograph it.
I really pushed for her to be all in pink (including pink-tinted silver armour) with yellowy-blonde hair (a real Disney-esque looking chick), mostly due to her shield:

Seriously, that would have been awesome. A pink knight!

A good figure, but the eyes are not quite right. More liner on the top lid and push the flesh colour up on the bottom so that the pupil is not so suspended. Her hair is really good - good colours.
